Hapoel Tel Aviv Dominates Hapoel Ramat Gan 4-0 Ahead of Derby
Hapoel Tel Aviv continued their strong start to the season with a decisive 4-0 victory over Hapoel Ramat Gan at Bloomfield Stadium on Monday. The win, which came after a dominant second-half performance, places Hapoel Tel Aviv at least second in the league standings after the third round of matches.
Coach Eliniv Barda's squad, who previously defeated Beitar Jerusalem 3-0, made only one change to their lineup, with Shahar Piven starting in place of Marcus Coco, who was sidelined with a minor injury. Hapoel Ramat Gan, conversely, faced a challenging match following earlier losses to Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
While Hapoel Tel Aviv controlled possession from the outset, they struggled to create clear scoring opportunities in the first half, with goalkeeper Amit Reif making a crucial save against Stav Turiel. The game opened up in the second half, with Emmanuel Boateng scoring in the 57th minute after an assist from Roei Alkukim. Douglas Owusu extended the lead in the 74th minute with an impressive individual effort, followed by goals from Tuvitu (an own goal) and Maimbo, sealing the comprehensive win.
The victory serves as strong preparation for Hapoel Tel Aviv's upcoming derby match.
