Maccabi Tel Aviv fined about NIS 25,000 over derby crowd behavior
Maccabi Tel Aviv has been fined approximately NIS 25,000 because of its supporters’ behavior during the derby in the final round of the season. The punishment was reported while the team is in the middle of a tense playoff final series against city rival Hapoel Tel Aviv.
The article says the sanction stems from incidents in that season-ending derby, though it does not detail the specific misconduct. The club learned of the fine as it prepared for the second game of the championship series.
Maccabi opened the final with a convincing 96-75 win, built on a dominant performance by Jaylen Hoard and poor displays from Vasilije Micic and Yam Madar. The second game was scheduled for Thursday at 20:50 on 5SPORT, with Maccabi visiting Hapoel Tel Aviv.
The piece frames the night as an important test for both coaches, asking whether Oded Kattash can move to a 2-0 lead or whether Dimitris Itoudis can get his team back on track.
