Israel round-up: Ashdod see off Kiriat-Gat

FC Ashdod came from behind to win their sixth consecutive home game in the Ligat ha-Al with a 2-1 victory against relegation-threatened Maccabi Kiriat-Gat.

Hard-earned win
Ashdod's hard-earned win came after Kiriat-Gat had taken the lead on 35 minutes when their Latvian striker Andreas Prohanenkovs fired in a spectacular 18-metre drive.

Ashdod strike back
But Ashdod struck back in the second half with two goals from Asi Tubi. The equaliser came nine minutes after the break when Amir Alkarif crossed for Tubi to head home from close range. Then 16 minutes from time Tubi claimed his 12th goal of the season with another header, after rising to meet Alon Hazan's cross from the left.
