The goal decided the match in the 91st minute: Roi Elkokin scored after Dapha found him in added time. Hapoel Be'er Sheva were dominant for most of the match as the hosts, but failed to make their chances count.

Elkokin celebrated after the goal and said the Reds are aiming high. Barda said the top spot would not distract them, and that second place would never satisfy him. According to him, if the team stays in those positions in the decisive moments, it will not be afraid to attack. At Hapoel Tel Aviv they said the team is thrilled by the win, which is more important to them than the derby.

Hapoel Tel Aviv went into the break in first place in the table, for the first time since matchday two of the 2021/22 season. This win is their seventh consecutive in all competitions for the visitors. Ligat Ha'Al will resume after the break.
