Hapoel Tel Aviv Scores Twice in Injury Time to Reach Toto Cup Final
Hapoel Tel Aviv secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Ironi Kiryat Shmona in the Toto Cup semi-final on August 16, 2026, thanks to two injury-time goals by striker Daniel Dappa. The team appeared headed for elimination despite playing against ten men, but Dappa's goals in the 97th and 99th minutes turned the match around. Douglas Aveso assisted the winning goal in his debut, helping Hapoel reach the final for the first time in the competition's history. The victory sets up a highly anticipated Tel Aviv derby final against Maccabi Tel Aviv. This win continues Hapoel's trend from last season of scoring decisive late goals, demonstrating the team's resilience early in the 2026/27 season.
