Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ayalon Tshuva made the kick off which started today's match. SC Yair's Hamami Fridman proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 3rd minute of the match, managed to save SC Yair from getting a goal against them. Ayalon Tshuva had several of the SC Yair's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 5 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Hamami Fridman as he didn't even see the shot coming. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ayalon Tshuva in the 12th minute of play forced SC Yair's goalkeeper Hamami Fridman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

After 32 played minutes, SC Yair's Didi Alon shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Mitia Sudmi 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 Yair reached it. 34 minutes into the match, SC Yair's goal looked a bit too open when Ayalon Tshuva came free, but Hamami Fridman reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
