Last night saw a glorious night for Israeli football, in contrast to the recent dark days of World Cup failure and disappointment on the Champions League stage with Maccabi Haifa. Hats off to Hapoel Tel Aviv, they faced a tricky home match against Rapid Vienna, but ran out very convincing 5-1 winners. An Israeli side beating fairly decent European competition 5-1 – what the heck?
Whatever the future holds for Hapoel Tel Aviv in Europe this season, I’m just happy Lala got on the scoresheet again last night. He’s going to be a headline writer’s dream, you mark my words!
“Lala makes it another Tinky Winky night in Europe for Tel Aviv!”
“Lala turns Benfica into Po”
