A stoppage time winner from Nosa Igiebor helped Hapoel Tel Aviv win the Israeli FA Cup for the third season in a row following a 2-1 win over Maccabi Haifa in Ramat Gan.
With the final heading for extra time, Igiebor latched on to a pass from Salim Taumeh to lob Israel keeper Nir Davidovich in the Haifa goal.

The defeat completes a disappointing season for Maccabi who finished fifth in the league and missed out on European football next season.

Third-placed Bnei Yehuda and fourth-placed Maccabi Netanya qualified for the Europa League.
