Notes

edit
  1. ^ The match was abandoned at the 15th minute. After the goal scored by Hapel Haifa, Maccabi Netanya players protested the goal, claiming the match ball was substituted illegally before the throw-in that preceded it. In the ensuing melee, Hapoel Haifa player Mordechay Piker punched Maccabi Netanya player Shraga Bar and was sent off, following by the abandonment of the match. The match was given to Hapoel Haifa.
