Maccabi Tel Aviv hoped to climb to first place in the Premier League but was defeated 6:2 by Beitar Jerusalem, which beat the champions at Bloomfield for the first time in a decade. Heitor scored first for the hosts, but Yordan Shua and Adi Yona each scored twice, Omer Atzili and Ziv Ben Shimol added goals and a score by Carvin Andrade didn’t change the outcome. Hostage survivors Gali and Ziv Berman received an emotional ceremony before the match.
