Bnei Yehuda secured the Toto Cup National League title on Monday evening, defeating Hapoel Acre 1-0 in a dramatic final held in Netanya. The decisive goal came in the 92nd minute from Stav Nahmani, who scored his 15th goal across all competitions this season. Bnei Yehuda, who finished second in the National League, entered the match as clear favorites against Hapoel Acre, who were last in the league with only one point from nine matches.
The match saw Bnei Yehuda dominate possession and create chances, with early attempts from Zhe Flores hitting the crossbar and another by Stav Nahmani striking the post in the second half. Hapoel Acre also had moments, including a shot by Rif Mesika that hit the woodwork and a major miss by Roi Zikri in the 76th minute.
A significant incident occurred in the 35th minute when Yacoba Tomangon of Hapoel Acre received a yellow card for a hard foul on Yuval Piven. Piven, who had recently recovered from an injury, was taken to the hospital with fears of an ankle fracture.
Tomangon was later sent off with a second yellow card in the 81st minute for another rough tackle. Despite playing with ten men, Hapoel Acre appeared close to forcing penalties until Nahmani's late winner. This victory marks Bnei Yehuda's second consecutive Toto Cup title and highlights their clutch performance in late-game situations, following similar late goals in previous league matches.
Coach Eli Levi's team has demonstrated a knack for winning in stoppage time, raising questions about whether this resilience will translate to promotion to the top league. The team's first objective, winning the cup, has been achieved, largely thanks to the form of their striker Stav Nahmani.
