Israeli Premier League season opens with goals, drama and off-field concerns
The Greens applied all kinds of pressure early on as they repeatedly penetrated the box, with Kenji Gorre doing as he pleased.
The Israeli Premier League season commenced with several matches, though some teams were absent due to European competitions.

- Maccabi Tel Aviv secured a 5-2 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem, featuring a hat trick from Dor Peretz, who stated, "It's a great feeling to do this here after last season, which was really special for me."
- Maccabi Netanya and Bnei Sakhnin played to a goalless draw.
- Ironi Tiberias beat Hapoel Petah Tikva 1-0.
