M.S. Ashdod FC has responded to accusations made by Bnei Yehuda FC regarding the officiating in their recent cup match. Bnei Yehuda had previously criticized referee Aviad Shiloh, even suggesting a lie detector test, after their 3-4 loss to Ashdod, which eliminated them from the cup.
Ashdod stated they were "astonished" by Bnei Yehuda's claims, asserting that the better team rightfully won and advanced. Ashdod countered by pointing to "ugly tackles" by Bnei Yehuda players that they believe should have resulted in yellow or red cards. They suggested Bnei Yehuda's complaints stem from disappointment over their elimination and an attempt to pressure referees ahead of their league game.
Ashdod also reminded Bnei Yehuda of a previous Toto Cup semi-final match where the Referees Association acknowledged Ashdod was wronged twice, citing two "bizarre" red cards issued to their players in the first half. Ashdod has submitted relevant materials to the Referees Association concerning the recent cup match incidents.
