The first match
The match finished 2–2 after 90 minutes, and was marred by a pitch invasion during the match half-time, with a considerable number of fans staying around the pitch during the second half, occasionally disrupting the match.[3] In the match itself, Maccabi took the a 2–0 by the 48th minute and Hakoah equalized by scoring twice within the last 15 minutes of the match. [4]
The second match
A replay wasn't set immediately, and was delayed as league matches started. Eventually, a friendly match was arrange for 30 April 1966, since the league went on a break as the national team played a friendly match and the Under-19 national team competed in the 1966 AFC Youth Championship. Only 800 spectators attended the match, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[5]
