Hapoel Tel Aviv opened the 2022/23 season this evening (Saturday) in a successful way, with a 1:3 away victory over Hapoel Jerusalem in Group B of the Toto Cup, in a match held at Petah Tikva. Hisham Laios (2), Shlomi Azoulai (25 on a penalty) and Omer Senior (68) scored for the winner, Itay Zade just Tzimek (51).
Hapoel Tel Aviv showed up for the game after not passing the budget control, that is, without some of the new players. The foreigners were registered as probationers and youth players were jumped, but the business actually worked quite well. Kobi Yarofa decided to start with a 4-4-2 diamond formation and his team highlighted Hisham Laios and especially Shlomi Azoulai, who was given the keys to navigate and did so with a fantastic performance in the first half.
Hapoel Jerusalem managed to get into things in the first 20 minutes of the second half – which were their least weak tonight – and then they also scored a goal, but after a series of substitutions in both teams, Hapoel Tel Aviv woke up (this time in a 4-3-3 formation), went up to -1:3 and “killed” the game. Medicine can be relatively satisfied, both with the ability of the young players and with the fact that he practiced two methods today that worked quite well. On the other side, Ziv Aryeh must strengthen his team in almost every section to avoid another season of difficult struggles at the bottom.
