Hapoel Tel Aviv secured their second Toto Cup title on Thursday, defeating rivals Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-2 in the competition's final for the first time in history.

That game featured goals from Yaakov Ekhaus, Moshe Sinai, and Gili Landau, with Landau's goal still considered controversial due to suspicions of handball.
