Maccabi Tel Aviv suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Toto Cup final on Thursday, marking their first loss of the season to an Israeli team. Hapoel Tel Aviv secured the victory with goals from Roey Alkokin, Omri Altman, and Daniel Dafa. Dor Peretz scored twice for Maccabi Tel Aviv, narrowing the deficit late in the game. "Yes, this is a blow to the fans and the club. We are very disappointed," said Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Kenny Miller. "We didn't do enough in the final third except for the last few minutes. With this kind of defense, you can't win in football. If we had defended normally, we would have had a chance at the end."
Maccabi Tel Aviv had hoped to add the Toto Cup to their Super Cup title won earlier in the summer, but their defensive performance ultimately proved insufficient.
