Week 25 brings us a match on Mar 4th where Hapoel Hadera hosts Hapoel Be’er Sheva in a meeting of these two mismatched Ligat ha’Al teams.

Patrick Twumasi scored the first goal for Maccabi Netanya in the 55th minute on a penalty kick, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Hapoel Hadera was frustrated by Maccabi Netanya’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Maccabi Netanya ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while in their last match, 2nd placed Hapoel Be’er Sheva, recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Maccabi Bnei Raina.
