Maccabi Tel Aviv Dominates Rival Hapoel Tel Aviv 4-1 in Derby Clash
Maccabi Tel Aviv secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv in the season's opening derby, marking their fourth consecutive league win. The dominant performance took place at Bloomfield Stadium, showcasing Maccabi's strong start to the 2026/27 season.
Dor Peretz opened the scoring for Maccabi in the 19th minute, his seventh league goal of the season. However, Hapoel Tel Aviv's Stav Turi'el equalized with a powerful long-range shot. The parity was short-lived as Oser Davida restored Maccabi's lead shortly after, assisted by Soker. The first half was described as frenetic.
Further goals from Layo and Madmon sealed the emphatic win for Maccabi. Turi'el, who scored Hapoel's only goal, was later sent off. This loss marks the first league defeat for Hapoel Tel Aviv's coach, Barda, this season. The victory continues Maccabi's impressive run, leaving rivals wondering who can stop their current momentum.
