League A North of the 2022/23 season has started. Yesterday (Thursday) Hisham Zoevi’s Kfar Kana youth team lost 1:1 at home against Hapoel Bnei Zalfa. Samir Farhoud, who started his second season in Kfar Kana, scored the first (64′), the substitute Abdullah Jabarin equalized in the final minutes (84′). Today there were six more matches, and the opening round will be closed on the first when Ihud Bnei Shafaram will meet Maccabi Ata Bialik.
Hapoel Ra’anana – Taiba Youth 0:2
Hapoel Ra’anana’s second victory in a row over the youth of Taiba, in less than 10 days, when the two also met in the fifth round of the State Cup. Ron Aryeh scored then and this time as well – the winning goal. Idan Brown made a great preparation, both mentally and professionally for his players. Elior Sider, the player that both teams chased and even fought over during the summer, started in the host uniform.
The first goal in the game was scored by Mohamed Awade, and the second, as mentioned, was added by Ron Aryeh. Taiba suffers a second loss against whoever will wrestle with her for the ticket to the National League. Now it is the duty of Yigal Antebi and his team to pick up the players and quickly.
Tira Sports Club – Hapoel Buaina 1:0
Amir Cohen expected to open the season with a victory in view of the rich squad at his disposal, but it was not successful after a single goal by Haiytam Div in the 48th minute of the match. Tira had the better of the minutes, but couldn’t translate it into goals. You could find Idan Koskas in the gate, Elias Zena, David Edri, Veva Braun, Nir Azaria, Philip Mena, Amid Kashua and Shalom Edri at the castle. It just wasn’t enough against Shadi Hamuda’s humble team.
Maccabi Tamra – Hapoel Migdal Hamemek 2:1
Migdal Ha’emek registers a successful season, after almost being relegated last season, it returns this season with its head held high with great ability. Liel Lieberstein made it 0:1 already in the 3rd minute of the game, Amit Mizrahi doubled twenty minutes later. The last goal in the first half determined the outcome of the match between the two, when Ahmed Kasum scored from the penalty spot and narrowed it to 2:1 in the 35th minute. Not an opening as expected in Tamra.
Hapoel KaOkb – Hapoel Klanswa 0:2
The newcomer from League B, Hapoel Klanswa, succumbed to the temptation and opened the season with a loss that no one expected, certainly with the purchase they made last summer which was not enough for the Bozaglo fan. Kaoqb dominated throughout the game and goals by Udai Shalaeta (35) and Ahmed Halaila (74) determined the final result. Clanswa will have to study League A in depth and breadth in order to get into things.
Hapoel Kfar Kana – Ironi Nesher 3:5
Crazy result in a crazy game. With almost no defenses, which the teams will have to work on very hard this season, Hapoel Kfar Kana beat Nesher with five goals from five different players. Sepoan Zoevi, Itai Moreno, Shlomi Marad, Chen Cohen and George Khoury resulted in a great victory. Firas Ptolemy, Shadi Masarwa and Sahar Selma reduced the result which was not particularly enough for Ironi Nesher, which starts the season on the left foot.
Maccabi Nojidat – Hapoel in Akka El Gharbia 2:2
A multi-goal match between Issa Nojidat and Assi Elimelech. Bar Shemesh recorded a 0:1 win over Akka Al Gharbiyeh in the 14th minute, when twenty minutes later, Amar Eldad made it 1:1. On the brink of halftime, Idan Binyamin restored the advantage to win Aka El Gharbia. In the second half, Farnas Issa made it 2:2 in the 68th minute and locked the match in the division of points between the two. Maccabi Nojidat, the new entrant to the league, scored its first point ever in League A North.
