Rewaha Arena
Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Noel Bitran took the kick off in the first half of the match. 4 minutes into the game, Franco Vaser recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Kain Yahalom. Franco Vaser showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. Kain Yahalom didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Shoval Pesi went, in the 16th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-0 was the resulting score. After having played for 20 minutes, Franco Vaser managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rewaha's supporters crossed their fingers, but Franco Vaser was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. FC Manshiya's Kain Yahalom played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Franco Vaser in the 22nd minute of play. 24 minutes into the game, Shoval Pesi cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-0. Kain Yahalom was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 27th minute Franco Vaser shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kain Yahalom saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 34th minute Miko Tshuva shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Salim Tamari saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Franco Vaser had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Salim Tamari stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Noel Bitran's shot from short distance in the 43rd minute. Shoval Pesi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
