Hapoel Tel Aviv Secures 2-0 Win Over Katowice in Conference League Qualifier
Hapoel Tel Aviv achieved a convincing 2-0 victory against Polish side Katowice in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League. The match took place on Thursday evening in Miskolc, Hungary, with around 2,300 Hapoel fans in attendance. Coach Aliniv Bereda surprised by starting young player Roy Alkukin, who made a significant impact on the game.
Hapoel dominated from the start, opening the scoring in the 5th minute when Omri Altman assisted Stav Turyel, who scored from 16 meters. The lead doubled in the 18th minute after Emmanuel Boateng intercepted the ball and passed to Alkukin, who skillfully lobbed the goalkeeper from 25 meters. Throughout the first half, Hapoel maintained pressure and created multiple scoring chances, while Katowice struggled to respond offensively.
In the second half, the pace slowed as Bereda made several substitutions, including bringing on Shahar Piven and Jander Silva. Despite Katowice's attempts to get back into the game and a brief interruption caused by fans entering the pitch, Hapoel's disciplined defense kept a clean sheet. The win provides a strong foundation for Hapoel Tel Aviv as they prepare for the upcoming season.
