Hapoel Tel Aviv secured a significant trophy, the Toto Cup, defeating Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-2 in a match that marked their first league title since the 2011/12 season. The victory, celebrated enthusiastically by players and staff, was seen as a return to the club's glory days. Coach Eliniv Brada expressed pride in the team's building success and commitment to bringing honor to the fans. Despite the overall satisfaction, moments of anxiety arose during the game, particularly after Maccabi's second goal and a missed opportunity by Hapoel's Ester Sukler, which could have led to a difficult comeback scenario. Brada acknowledged a potential misstep with three substitutions made late in the game, taking responsibility for the increased pressure that ensued. The club is optimistic about retaining key players whose contracts are expiring, including Fernand Mayembo, Assaf Tzur, and Marcus Coco, viewing them as integral to the team's future. Hapoel Tel Aviv also expressed disappointment with their draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the State Cup but conveyed confidence in their ability to overcome any opponent. Emmanuel Boateng, who suffered a fractured eye socket, may be fit for the upcoming match against Maccabi Haifa, while Daniel Dapa's impending military conscription is not expected to significantly disrupt his participation.
