Hapoel Petah Tikva faces a potential technical loss after fielding 12 players during their 1-1 draw against Maccabi Netanya on Saturday. However, a similar incident in the German league might allow the match result to stand.
In the 2021/22 season, Bayern Munich played with 12 players for a few seconds during a 4-1 victory over Freiburg. Freiburg appealed, but the German court ruled that the responsibility lay with the officiating team. The court stated that referees are required to fulfill their duties, and since the officials did not notice the extra player on the field for only a brief period, the match result remained unchanged.
This German precedent could potentially benefit Hapoel Petah Tikva, offering a basis for their appeal and aiming to keep the 1-1 draw intact.
