Hapoel Tel Aviv secured a significant 2-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa on Monday, a win that boosted the team's morale and demonstrated their fighting spirit following their Toto Cup triumph. The players battled through fatigue, particularly in the second half, to secure the crucial three points. In an unusual move, coach Eliniv Barda gathered his players for a post-match meeting in the locker room, commending their "fighting spirit" and calling them "a group of men."
Despite being fit and returning to training with a special mask, Emanuel Boateng was rested due to foreign player limitations and to allow his orbital fracture to heal. He is expected to be available for the next match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
Stav Turiel remains a significant doubt for the upcoming game against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. The club is leaning towards not including him in the squad to give his groin muscle adequate time to recover and prevent re-injury.
