Maccabi Tel Aviv Fined Over Player's Derby Goal Celebration
Maccabi Tel Aviv has been fined 10,000 shekels by the league's disciplinary board following a controversial goal celebration by player Osher Davida during the recent Tel Aviv derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Davida scored the team's second goal in their 4-1 victory and celebrated by making a spraying gesture towards Hapoel fans, which incited anger among the opposing supporters.
The incident also led to a yellow card for Hapoel player Stav Touriyal, who was later sent off after receiving a second yellow. The league stated that Davida's conduct caused significant disturbances in the stands and created a risk of escalation, damaging the league's image.
Maccabi Tel Aviv maintained a perfect record in the league following the derby win. The fine was issued on Wednesday, September 26th.
