Beitar Jerusalem and Maccabi Tel Aviv Draw 0-0 in Teddy Stadium Clash

Beitar Jerusalem and Maccabi Tel Aviv played to a goalless draw of 0-0 at Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem on Monday evening. The match, which was Beitar's first home game of the 2026/7 season following extensive renovations to the stadium, saw a large, enthusiastic crowd in attendance. Despite a fast-paced and engaging game, neither team managed to score.

Maccabi Tel Aviv, who had drawn their previous match 0-0 against Bnei Sakhnin, were looking to secure a win to reclaim the top spot in the Israeli Premier League. However, they were repeatedly thwarted by Beitar's strong defense, particularly the impressive performance of defender Bryan Krabeli, who blocked numerous scoring attempts. Beitar Jerusalem also had opportunities to score but failed to convert.

The 0-0 result was a familiar outcome for these two teams, as Maccabi has won only one of their last eight encounters against Beitar. Last season, Beitar defeated Maccabi three times, and one match ended in a 0-0 draw at the same venue. The draw on Monday benefits Maccabi Haifa, allowing them to secure first place in the league standings for the first time in many years.

Notably, Prime Minister Netanyahu did not attend the match. The game concluded without goals or a winner, mirroring the absence of the Prime Minister and the lack of offensive success for both clubs.
