Hapoel Petah Tikva is facing a potential technical loss after 12 of their players were on the field simultaneously during a penalty kick awarded to Maccabi Netanya on Saturday. The incident is expected to be reviewed by the Football Association's disciplinary tribunal.
The club expressed significant anger regarding the officiating, particularly the referee's role in the substitution. According to club officials, player Roi Levi was supposed to leave the field but did not exit in time, and the substitution signal was only visible for two to three seconds. They questioned how the referee allowed a new player, Kalay, to enter the game if Levi had not yet departed, stating this was the referee's responsibility.
Under football regulations, having 12 players on the field at any given moment results in an immediate technical loss. The referee for the match was Gal Leibovitz, and the fourth official was Yigal Fried.
