Hapoel Petah Tikva is at risk of forfeiting a technical loss after 12 players were simultaneously on the field during a penalty kick by Maccabi Netanya on Saturday. The incident is expected to be reviewed by the Football Association's disciplinary tribunal.
Club officials expressed anger at the officiating, stating that the referee was responsible for ensuring the correct player left the field during a substitution. They claim player Roi Levi did not exit the game, and the referee, Gal Leibovitz, did not notice the substitution signal for several seconds. They questioned how the referee allowed another player, Klay, to enter the game if Levi had not yet left.
According to football regulations, having 12 players on the field at any given moment results in an immediate technical loss. The fourth official for the match was Yigal Fried.
