Maccabi Tel Aviv Dominates Rival in Derby Win, La'yous Scores First Goal in Years
Maccabi Tel Aviv maintained their perfect record by defeating Hapoel Tel Aviv 4-1 in a derby match on Monday. Two of Maccabi's goals were scored by former Hapoel players, Osher Davida and Hisham La'yous. For La'yous, who came on as a substitute and scored in the 88th minute assisted by Elad Madmon (who also scored in stoppage time), this marked his first goal in the Israeli Premier League since September 1, 2024, over two years ago. Last season, La'yous was loaned to Levadiakos in Greece, where he scored four goals.
The victory extended Maccabi Tel Aviv's winning streak and highlighted the depth of their squad, with substitute players like La'yous and Madmon making significant contributions. The win was celebrated by fans on social media, with many expressing joy over La'yous's long-awaited goal and his impact on the derby. The team's performance continues to impress, keeping them at the top of the league standings.
