Kfar Shalem secured a resounding 4-0 victory over Hapoel Acre, the last-place team in the National League, on Monday evening. The win was largely powered by four goals from players on loan from Maccabi Tel Aviv. Orel Baye opened the scoring with two goals in the 45th and 56th minutes, marking his second consecutive game with a goal. Lotem Asres, another Maccabi Tel Aviv loanee, scored one goal but was instrumental in the game's most spectacular play. In the 80th minute, Asres dribbled past four defenders and evaded another before slotting the ball into the net with flair. The final goal came just before the whistle, with midfielder Ran Ribel scoring from the edge of the box in the 89th minute.
Asres, who has now scored in the last three league matches, has netted four goals this season. Following a brace in a 2-1 win over Bnei Raina earlier in the month, Asres posted on social media about his struggles and determination, stating, "People think being a footballer is easy, I've been through a lot of difficulties in recent months and always knew how to stay on stage when no one sees and work harder than everyone." He added, "From here it's only up, and one day the people who didn't want us to stay in a certain place will want us to be part of it." Asres also mentioned his desire to return to Maccabi Tel Aviv, expressing hope to wear the "yellow-blue" as soon as possible, ideally in January.
In the previous season, Asres scored 20 goals in 58 appearances for Maccabi Tel Aviv's youth team, helping them win the championship in 2025/26.
