Spectators: 6781 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1781, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Simcha Blitz took the kick off in the first half of the match. Yahalon Romm made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Simcha Blitz in the 3rd minute of play. Eliyav Visebord sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 19 minutes into the game, Zeelon Tuviah was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Grofit's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Hapoel Jerusalem the free kick. After a rather tough play, Grofit's Zeelon Tuviah got a free kick in the 19th minute. In the 28th minute, Eliyav Visebord left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The FC Hapoel Jerusalem fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eliyav Visebord in the 31st minute of play forced Grofit's goalkeeper Yahalon Romm to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Shachaf Chernow came out of the goal in the 33rd minute to try and stop a shot by Grofit's Felix Gefen. But to his dismay, Felix Gefen quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. 37 minutes into the game, Eliyav Visebord cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-3. Yahalon Romm was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 40th minute Simcha Blitz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yahalon Romm saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Shachaf Chernow was a little too slow when Shalev Noyman got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 44th minute. The score was now 2-3. The Grofit players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. FC Hapoel Jerusalem were winning 2-3.

The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Eliseo Ben Dayan during the 75th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Grofit fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 75th minute. Penalty!

Shalev Noyman kicked well hit freekick during the 85th minute of the match. 2-7 became the score in the 88th minute when Simcha Blitz elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. If Simcha Blitz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Eliyav Visebord could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 96th minute of the match, but Yahalon Romm made a huge save. After 96 played minutes, FC Hapoel Jerusalem's Gadi Blaine shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Yahalon Romm came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in FC Hapoel Jerusalem reached it. FC Hapoel Jerusalem's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
