Beitar may sit seventh with six points, while Maccabi Tel Aviv remains perfect at 4-0 with 12 points, but the capital club now has momentum – and, perhaps more importantly, belief.

In his first public comments on the battle surrounding Maccabi Tel Aviv's ownership, the Jewish-American sports executive tells The Jerusalem Post that he is honored to have been approached.

The yellow-and-blue are a perfect 4-0, with wins over Israeli league heavyweights Maccabi Haifa, Hapoel Beersheba and Hapoel Tel Aviv, including a convincing 4-1 derby victory at Bloomfield Stadium.

Amir Ganah pulled a goal back to cut the lead to 2-1 at halftime. Sokler found the back of the net again off a Varela cross, while Peretz added a marker as well to take the 4-1 win.

The Red management decided: "To the extent that warning letters or other proceedings exist, they are canceled. The goal is to meet Hapoel fans in the stands, not in court."

The court overturned the Reds' conviction and sentence following incidents in which a team fan clashed with Jaylen Hoard, but did not criticize the referees who chose to eject him.

Bonzie Colson scored 23 points as Maccabi Tel Aviv blew a lead but beat Aris Thessaloniki 92-87 in Cyprus, while Oshae Brissett contributed 19.

Yair Kravitz explains why he is optimistic about Hapoel Holon and discusses the gaps with top clubs and national team criticism: "We have talent."

Three Israelis – wheelchair players Guy Sasson and Sergei Lysov and junior Dan Brand - represented Israel at the US Open, although none returned home with a championship.

“After three years in which this region was almost entirely off the cycling map, we want to be among the first to return," Gal Tsachor said.
