Spectators: 6823 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1773, VIP seats: 50) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Eshkol Popovitz took the kick off in the first half of the match. The supporters of Rantiya booed when FC Hoseifa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Uri Glickman didn't get a good kick on the ball. Eshkol Popovitz recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 4th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
