Maccabi Petah-Tikva beat Ironi Tiveria 3:0 in the 11th Place Final of the Toto Cup on Friday. The match ended at 17:15 on 15 August 2026, with the away side taking the result by the third goal in the last quarter of an hour.
L. Hazan opened the scoring at 48 minutes, just after S. Owusu came on for Ironi Tiveria at the break. The visitors took control early and never looked back, with I. Cohen adding a second at 79 and J. Cortes sealing it at 84. Three goals from seven shots on target says it all.
Maccabi dominated the middle third, completing 127 attacks compared to 70 for the hosts. They held 0.62 possession and created three corners against two for Ironi. The visitors registered seven shots on target with nine off target, while the hosts managed three on and six off.
I. Cohen received a yellow card at 66 minutes, and another booking followed at 78 for the home side. No red cards changed the shape of the game, but the statistics show who controlled the tempo throughout.
Ironi Tiveria's recent form offers little comfort — they lost four of their last five competitive matches, including a 2:4 defeat to Maccabi Haifa and a 1:3 loss to Hapoel Haifa. Maccabi Petah-Tikva showed more resilience, winning their most recent game 2:1 against Hapoel Ramat-Gan before that narrow defeat.
The result means Maccabi Petah-Tikva finish the tournament on a positive note, while Ironi Tiveria go home with their record against the visitors now firmly in the opposition's favour.
