In the 88th minute the ball was on its way in behind Maccabi Netanya's goalkeeper Dedê Hermes, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 95 minutes into the match, Maccabi Netanya's goal looked a bit too open when Barthel Khatzir came free, but Dedê Hermes reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A hard shot 96 in the game by Uriah Hildesheimer from a close distance when the talented Udi Lieberman managed to make a qualified save. Gunnerz's players were relieved. The Gunnerz fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Maccabi Netanya were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
