Hapoel Petah Tikva drew 1-1 with Maccabi Netanya on Saturday, but the team may face a technical loss due to a rule infraction. Video evidence suggests that during a penalty kick taken by Maor Levi in stoppage time, Hapoel Petah Tikva had 11 outfield players on the field in addition to goalkeeper Omer Katz. This is a violation of regulations and will lead to disciplinary action if noted in the referee's or association observer's report. If charged, the team is expected to be penalized with a 3-0 technical loss, resulting in a one-point deduction and placing them back below the relegation line. The incident occurred after a triple substitution by the home team, where Kala, Guy Badash, and Tomer Altman were brought on for Erick Billa, who was injured, Boni Amian, and Roi Levy. However, Levy did not leave the field and Altman did not enter until after the penalty was awarded. Levy eventually exited the field only after play resumed from the center circle, by which time 11 blue-clad outfield players were on the pitch during the penalty attempt.
