The professional committee of the Referees Association has officially determined that Hapoel Petah Tikva was disadvantaged in their recent match against Beitar Jerusalem. The committee found that Beitar Jerusalem's defender should have received a red card during the game.
The incident occurred during a play for the ball between the player and Hapoel Petah Tikva player Karim Kimbaidi. The player stepped on Kimbaidi twice, with the second instance appearing to be a deliberate stomp on his leg. The referees' body acknowledged that the VAR officials should have alerted the on-field referee to the situation.
An analysis by the Sport Channel's AI referee had previously concluded that the player's action constituted "cruel play" according to Law 12, warranting a red card. The analysis stated that even if a prior foul was committed by Kimbaidi, the player's subsequent stomp was violent and independent of the play for the ball.
