Beitar Jerusalem
Hapoel Haifa
Hapoel Haifa staged a remarkable comeback to salvage a crucial point from two goals down against Beitar Jerusalem in a thrilling encounter. Beitar looked to be cruising after Grigoriy Morozov's opener and Yarden Cohen's second-half strike gave them a commanding 2-0 lead. However, Anis Forat Ayias provided the catalyst for Haifa's revival with a goal just ten minutes after being introduced as a substitute, before fellow substitute Yonatan Ferber completed the comeback ten minutes from time. The draw maintains both sides' mid-table positions in what proved to be a match defined by tactical substitutions and second-half drama.
