John Pantsil kept his promise to his birthday kids by helping Hapoel Tel Aviv secure a famous win over Maccabi on Sunday.
The Ghana international played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 win at the Bloomfield Stadium.
Pantsil had earlier promised his kids; Florencial, Ryanna and John Jnr who were celebrating their birthdays on the 9th, 10th and 11th November respectively of a win amongst other surprises.
The 31-year-old missed the big birthday bash at his Trasaco residence due to his club commitments.
The proud father however made amends by putting in a solid display to get the all important win for Hapoel.
An 88th minute strike from the spot by Omer Damari was well protected to secure Hapoel�s sixth win of the season.
The win now sees Hapoel gain grounds on leaders and rivals Maccabi who still occupy the top spot in the Israeli top flight.
