A peculiar dispute unfolded on the field between Maccabi Tel Aviv players Biran Karabeli and Jordan Shua just before halftime during their match against Beitar Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium. The argument centered on who would take a free kick for their team. Shua appeared to signal towards the bench, suggesting he had been instructed by the coaching staff to take the set piece. However, Karabeli, who had possession of the ball, refused to hand it over to Shua. Karabeli passed the ball behind his back as Shua attempted to retrieve it multiple times. Teammate Tomer Yosefi was also involved, and Omer Atzili tried to persuade the defender. Ultimately, Karabeli conceded, throwing the ball onto the grass in frustration and walking away. Earlier in the game, Shua and Yosefi had a less intense disagreement over another set piece situation.
