A collision led to Zakariya getting a freekick after 8 minutes play. Shar Dudi hit a great ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Umar Frank in the 14th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Giora Shoval saved Misgav from getting behind. An unexpectedly hard shot by Umar Frank in the 15th minute of play forced Misgav's goalkeeper Giora Shoval to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Melrod Kravitz recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 40th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

But to his dismay, Chai Refaeli quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. After 47 played minutes Zakariya got a freekick which was hit by Elkayam Malul.

Moni Edu struck a weak shot in the 58th minute. Aviel Niron didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Misgav.
