Maccabi Netanya beat Bnei Yehuda 3-1 in a friendly as Dor Hugi scores twice

Maccabi Netanya played a friendly against Bnei Yehuda on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, and won it 3-1. The match was held at Hadar Yosef, and according to NetanyaNet the standout player was striker Dor Hugi, who scored twice.

The start did not go Netanya’s way: Bnei Yehuda were first on the scoreboard and led 1-0. The yellows responded fairly quickly, with Isaac equalising at 1-1 from a Nadav Nidam assist. A few minutes later Eylon Almog broke down the flank and played a cross-field ball to Dor Hugi, who pushed it in from close range to put Maccabi 2-1 ahead. That was also the half-time score.

Early in the second half Willian Cipriano and Hugi combined with a one-two near the penalty area, and Hugi, through on the goalkeeper, finished to make it 3-1 to Maccabi Netanya, which stood as the final result.

Line-ups

Maccabi Netanya’s starting eleven: Niv Antman, Karem Jaber, Bakary Konaté, Denis Kulikov, Grigori Morozov, Omri Shamir, Willian Cipriano, Nadav Nidam, Isaac, Eylon Almog and Dor Hugi.

Also used during the match were Daniel Cohen, Alon Azugi, Olivier Verdon, Beni Feldman, Otaora Aziz, Gabriel Simion, Maor Levi, Yarin Abuhatzira, Bassam Zaarura and Mateus Dabo, meaning the coaching staff gave minutes to almost the whole squad.

Background

The friendly came only days after Netanya’s big league win: on Saturday night, 7 November, they thrashed Maccabi Haifa 4-0 at Sammy Ofer Stadium. Nadav Nidam and Eylon Almog, both on the scoresheet in that game, were again involved in the goals. Friendlies like this one are typically used to keep the squad sharp and to give playing time to those who feature less in official matches.
