Yossi Aboksis was appointed coach of Hapoel Tel Aviv in the first week of February in the hope of quickly rescuing it from the struggles of the bottom. Seven games later, the Reds count 643 minutes without a right goal and are left with only one point to their credit since the coaching changes, because tonight (Monday) they lost 2:0 at Teddy Le Hapoel Jerusalem.
Abuxis went on the attack with Elyan Rohana and Bobkar Tambado hoping to see a change, but fell behind early because in the 14th minute Matan Khozaz caught a ball to El Yam Kanzpolski and Ohad Almagor celebrated his first goal in the Premier League when he scored 0:1. Hisham Laios and Alan Ozhbolt had great opportunities and should have scored, but ran into Nadav Zamir who stepped up in the goal and was excellent and finally broke when in the 90th minute Kevin Soni made it 0:2 at the end.
Hapoel Jerusalem extended the streak of games without a loss to eight and in fact pretty much guaranteed its stay in the league due to the fact that it reached 34 points, and increased its advantage at the top of the lower playoffs. In the next round, on April 13, Hapoel Tel Aviv will host Hapoel Petah Tikva, and if they do not score again, they will break their negative record of 677 minutes in the 2020/21 season – hence, if the Reds do not score until the 35th minute against the leader of the table, they will break a negative record .
