Israelov Scores Own Goal in Unfortunate Hapoel Petah Tikva Debut
Defender Or Israelov experienced a difficult debut for Hapoel Petah Tikva, scoring an own goal that sealed his team's 3-0 loss to his former club, Hapoel Tel Aviv. Israelov, who joined Hapoel Petah Tikva on loan from Hapoel Tel Aviv just days prior, began the match on the bench but entered the game in the 24th minute. Despite delivering a solid performance and earning praise from his coach, Omer Peretz, for stabilizing the defense, Israelov inadvertently directed the ball into his own net for the final goal.
Coach Peretz defended his new player after the game, stating, "We felt we needed more control in the back, and Or calmed the entire defensive line." The match marked Israelov's first appearance for his new team against his previous one.
