Hapoel Tel Aviv made history by defeating fierce rivals Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-2 in the Toto Cup final, marking the first time the two clubs met in this specific championship match. The victory, which saw Hapoel Tel Aviv secure their second Toto Cup title overall, painted the city red after a significant win. This encounter was the tenth time Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv have faced each other in a title match, with nine previous meetings in the State Cup final, dating back to before the establishment of the state. Hapoel's triumph marks their first win against Maccabi in a final since the 1982/83 State Cup final, a game that featured goals from Yaakov Ekhaus, Moshe Sinai, and Gili Landau, with Landau's goal still considered controversial due to a potential handball. The last time Hapoel Tel Aviv held a three-goal lead over Maccabi Tel Aviv was in the 2009/10 season, when Mahran Lala, pundit Itay Shechter, and Douglas da Silva scored for Hapoel in a 4-2 victory. Although Maccabi Tel Aviv managed to pull back to 3-2 in the recent match, Hapoel Tel Aviv held onto their lead until the end to secure the cup.
