Actress and TV presenter Rotem Sela attended the Toto Cup final on Thursday, witnessing Hapoel Tel Aviv's dramatic 3-2 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv at Bloomfield Stadium. Sela, who sat in Hapoel's fan section, shared her excitement on Instagram, posting "Gate 5, Derby, good luck to us all. Let's go Hapoel." After the win, she added, "Yes, I brought the luck or at least didn't ruin it."
This contrasts with a previous derby appearance by Daniel Amit, partner of hostage survivor Emily Damari, on January 26, 2026. Amit supported Maccabi Tel Aviv from their fan section, but her team lost to Hapoel Tel Aviv after late goals from Omri Altman and Chico Alves, marking Hapoel's first derby win over Maccabi in 12 years.
Hapoel Tel Aviv, managed by Eliniv Barda, took a 3-0 lead in the recent final with goals from Roei Alkokin in the 18th minute, a penalty by Omri Altman in the 78th, and Daniel Dapa five minutes later. However, Maccabi Tel Aviv mounted a late comeback with two quick goals from Dor Peretz in the 89th and 91st minutes.
Despite Maccabi's surge, Hapoel Tel Aviv held on to secure their second Toto Cup title in the club's history, their first since the 2001/02 season. This victory also marked their first win against Maccabi Tel Aviv in a final since 1983.
