Hapoel Ramat Gan secured their first win of the season in the Israeli Premier League, defeating Maccabi Netanya 2-0. The victory, their first in over 13 years, came as a surprise given Ramat Gan's previous winless streak and Netanya's undefeated record entering the match.

Marius Novaisi opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a header from a cross by Moshe Samel, marking his debut goal in Israel. Despite Netanya dominating possession and creating early chances, Ramat Gan's defense held firm. The unexpected goal seemed to rattle Netanya, allowing Ramat Gan to gain confidence.

Luan Campos extended Ramat Gan's lead in the 35th minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse by Netanya. Campos received a pass from David Asenka, who had been a standout performer for Ramat Gan. The Brazilian striker's goal gave Ramat Gan a comfortable two-goal advantage heading into halftime.

In the second half, Netanya attempted to rally, bringing on Dor Hugi to bolster their attack. They launched a barrage of shots, but Ramat Gan's defense, marshaled by goalkeeper Amit Reif, successfully repelled the pressure. Reif made several crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet. Ramat Gan managed to control the tempo in the final minutes, securing a significant and impressive three points.
