Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28,
Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Oz Provensa got the match started through his kick off. Ruven Zubi was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 3rd minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Nuriel Sinay. Tzadok Edri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Yogev Hackmon showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Dvir Orbach in the 8th minute of the match. 10 minutes into the match, Azata's goal looked a bit too open when Dvir Orbach came free, but Yogev Hackmon reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Osher Megamadov fell near the penalty area in the 16th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SC Surieyl's protests and gave Osher Megamadov a yellow card for diving instead. Osher Megamadov took the ball and in the 22 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Yogev Hackmon. Yogev Hackmon dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. After 24 minutes, Tzadok Edri mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the SC Surieyl and the Azata players grew even worse after the yellow card. Tzadok Edri hit a great freekick 24 minutes into the match. Issa Pik sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Oz Provensa in the 31st minute of play forced SC Surieyl's goalkeeper Ruven Zubi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Osher Megamadov received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Yogev Hackmon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Yogev Hackmon showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Osher Megamadov, who was totally free with the ball in the 34th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 41st minute, Issa Pik managed to get in a good position for a shot. Azata's supporters rose to their feet, but Issa Pik was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ruven Zubi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.
When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Dvir Orbach made a kick off. Through an outstanding action, after 53 minutes, Yogev Hackmon successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. After 61 played minutes, SC Surieyl's Matar Kasantini shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Yogev Hackmon 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 SC Surieyl reached it. Osher Megamadovs short, quick shot in the 62ndth minute got Yogev Hackmon to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Ruven Zubi made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Oz Provensa in the 67th minute of play. When Tzadok Edri was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 67 minutes had been played. A collision led to Azata getting a freekick after 69 minutes play. Issa Pik hit a great ball. In the 72nd minute Oz Provensa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ruven Zubi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Osher Megamadov came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the SC Surieyl 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 Osher Megamadov couldn't finish the play. Azata's Yogev Hackmon proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 77th minute of the match, managed to save Azata from getting a goal against them. Osher Megamadov struck a weak shot in the 82nd minute. Yogev Hackmon didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SC Surieyl. If Issa Pik had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ruven Zubi didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Oz Provensa went, in the 88th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. 94 minutes into the match, SC Surieyl's goal looked a bit too open when Oz Provensa came free, but Ruven Zubi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The SC Surieyl supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing SC Surieyl would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
