Domona Stadium
Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Yaud Mordechai made the kick off which started today's match. Efraim Elkayam didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 3rd minute, which inside left pole to 1-0. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ynon Alterman in the 9th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Manor Uzan saved Domona from getting behind. If Bil Afridar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The supporters of Domona booed when SC Ganshmuel was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Avisag Pik didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 27th minute Froid Strul shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Manor Uzan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Manor Uzan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ynon Alterman in the 29th minute of the match.

SC Ganshmuel's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Domona the free kick. In the 43rd match minute, SC Ganshmuel was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Avisag Pik to maneuver through the defense.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Froid Strul was the one to do the kick off. In the 58th minute the ball was on its way in behind Domona's goalkeeper Manor Uzan, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Bil Afridar might have been able to make a better finish in the 64th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Efraim Elkayam. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Bil Afridar ran back to his position shaking his head. After having played for 68 minutes, Bil Afridar managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Domona's supporters crossed their fingers, but Bil Afridar was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ynon Alterman sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Yonni Golan's late challenge caught a Domona's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Yonni Golan helped the player get up and apologised. After 75 played minutes SC Ganshmuel got a freekick which was hit by Yonni Golan. Froid Strul struck a weak shot in the 77th minute. Manor Uzan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SC Ganshmuel. Vitali Glikman kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. When Froid Strul fell near the penalty area in the 80th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SC Ganshmuel's protests and gave Froid Strul a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, SC Ganshmuel's Froid Strul got a free kick in the 80th minute. When Bil Afridar came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the Domona fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Bil Afridar couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, SC Ganshmuel's Vitali Glikman got a free kick in the 92nd minute. Bil Afridar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Efraim Elkayam having to interfere.

Domona's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
