Hapoel Petah Tikva is at risk of forfeiting their recent 1-1 draw against Maccabi Netanya with a technical 3-0 loss. The controversy arose during a penalty kick awarded to Maor Levi in stoppage time on Saturday evening. It appears that Hapoel Petah Tikva had 11 outfield players on the field in addition to their goalkeeper, Omer Katz, at the time of the penalty. This situation constitutes a violation of league regulations and will lead to disciplinary proceedings if officially noted in the referee's or association observer's report. Should this occur, the team is expected to be penalized with a 3-0 technical defeat, resulting in a one-point deduction from their standings and potentially dropping them back below the relegation line.
