The Toto Cup group stage concluded this Sunday as Maccabi Petah Tikva defeated Hapoel Ramat Gan 2-1 in the fifth round of Group A. The Ordonim missed a golden opportunity to reach the semi-finals, finishing two points behind Maccabi Netanya, who advanced in their place. The Malabes secured their first victory of the season.
Massay Dego's side entered the match with momentum, having recorded two wins and a draw, and needed a victory to progress. However, they lacked precision in front of goal and left the Moshav stadium disappointed.
Ziv Arye's team, coming off three consecutive losses, were determined to claim their first points. Samuel Owusu (63') broke the deadlock with a powerful strike that hit the crossbar and went in. Liran Hazan (75') doubled the lead, while Amit Tzur (84') managed only a late consolation goal.
