Hapoel Ramat Gan delivered a dramatic performance at the new stadium in Rehovot. On Wednesday, the Ordonim showed great character to complete a turnaround against Hapoel Petah Tikva in the second round of the Toto Cup. The victory was particularly meaningful for coach Messay Dego, as it came against the team he previously managed during two separate stints.

Hapoel Ramat Gan started the game with dominance but fell behind against the run of play. In the 20th minute, Karim Kimbudi initiated a brilliant run, setting up Shavit Mazal, who calmly beat Amit Raif to put the visitors ahead. Despite the setback, the hosts maintained their pressure. In the 65th minute, their persistence paid off when a cross into the box found new signing Jota Goncalves, who headed the ball down for Idan Barnes to equalize from close range.

In the 86th minute, the Ordonim sealed the win after an excellent pass from substitute Moshe Semel found Luan Campos, who pushed the ball into the net. This victory marks an important milestone for Hapoel Ramat Gan as they prepare for their return season to the Premier League. Meanwhile, Hapoel Petah Tikva is left with plenty to reflect on as they look to regroup for the remainder of the group stage.
