Hapoel Petah Tikva Football Club will face a disciplinary hearing after fielding 12 players during their recent match against Maccabi Netanya. The game concluded in a 1-1 draw. The Football Association Prosecutor, Adv. Gilead Bergman, filed a charge against the club for using an ineligible player. Maccabi Netanya has formally complained and is requesting a technical loss ruling against Hapoel Petah Tikva. However, Bergman himself did not request this specific penalty, leaving the decision to the court's discretion. The incident occurred during stoppage time when Hapoel Petah Tikva scored a penalty to equalize. At that moment, 11 outfield players and the goalkeeper were on the field for Hapoel Petah Tikva, totaling 12 players. The club attempted a substitution, but one player failed to leave the field, leading to the situation that prompted the charge. The disciplinary court will now decide on the case and the appropriate punishment. While the prosecutor's omission of a technical loss request doesn't preclude the court from imposing it, it also doesn't indicate his stance on Netanya's demand.
