On August 27, 2026, during the Conference League playoff second leg against Lugano, Maccabi Tel Aviv took a 1-0 lead in the 69th minute with a penalty scored by Dor Peretz. The penalty was awarded after Elad Madmon, who had just come on as a substitute, was fouled inside the box by Lugano substitute Damien Kelvin.
