Hapoel Tel Aviv secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva at Turner Stadium on Sunday, propelling them to the top of the Israeli Premier League standings just before the international break. This marks the first time the club has finished a league matchday in first place since the second matchday of the 2021/22 season.
In that 2021/22 season, Hapoel Tel Aviv began with a 2-1 win against MS Ashdod and followed it with a 2-0 victory over Kiryat Shmona, featuring two goals from Yoav Tomer. The team was then coached by Salim Tuama, who remains with the club, with Doron Leidner being the only player from that period still on the roster.
The team's reign at the top was short-lived that season. In the subsequent matchday, they drew 1-1 with Maccabi Petah Tikva, losing their first-place position to Hapoel Nof HaGalil, who had a superior goal difference.
