A goal scored by M.S. Dimona against Maccabi Shdroth in the Liga Alef South has ignited controversy due to its unsportsmanlike nature. In the 17th minute of the sixth-round match, Shdroth player Idan Adenani fell near the penalty area, apparently injured and lying on the ground.
Instead of stopping play, Dimona player Matan Schwartz took possession of the ball, advanced, and assisted Rom Eligon for the opening goal, making the score 1-0. Adenani was substituted off four minutes later due to his injury.
The incident has led to debate about sportsmanship, with the outlet posing the question of whether the goal, though legal, was ethically sound. The match is described as a "Southern Derby."
