Hapoel Tel Aviv Dominates rivals Beitar Jerusalem 3-0
Hapoel Tel Aviv secured their first win of the season in a dominant 3-0 victory over fierce rivals Beitar Jerusalem on Thursday night at Bloomfield Stadium. The win marked a strong start for Hapoel under coach Eliniv Barda, while Beitar Jerusalem suffered their second consecutive loss to open the season.
Hapoel Tel Aviv took the lead in the 17th minute when Stav Touriyal delivered a cross to Roi Alkukim, who headed the ball into the net. The first half saw few other significant chances, with Hapoel maintaining their 1-0 advantage into halftime.
In the second half, Hapoel Tel Aviv extended their lead. Osasu scored the second goal, and later, Dafa sealed the victory with the third goal, completing the 3-0 rout. Beitar Jerusalem's struggles continued as they failed to score and were left with no points after the second round of the league.
The match also saw a red card for Gadrani, further complicating matters for Beitar Jerusalem. This loss follows their earlier defeat to Maccabi Netanya, leaving the team in a difficult position early in the season.
