- Player Roi Levi remained on the field after being substituted, leading to the infraction.
- Football regulations state a technical loss for fielding an ineligible player, with clear video evidence.

Hapoel Petah Tikva is at risk of forfeiting their 1-1 draw against Maccabi Netanya on Saturday due to fielding 12 players simultaneously on the field. The incident occurred when player Roi Levi remained on the pitch after being substituted as part of a triple substitution.
According to football regulations, specifically article three of the game's constitution, this constitutes "participation of an ineligible player." The rule stipulates a technical loss in such cases, especially when there is clear video evidence of twelve players on the field during the match.
A similar situation occurred in the women's league last May, when Maccabi Beer Sheva received a technical loss after a game against Ness Ziona. In that instance, an additional player entered the field without a substitution being made or the referees being notified.
In contrast, in 2022, Bayern Munich played with 12 players for a few seconds against Freiburg in the Bundesliga. However, Freiburg's appeal was rejected, and Bayern was not penalized, with responsibility placed on the officiating team rather than the club itself.
