League Play-Off

Ofaqim Arena
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Gadi Mitelman started the match with the kick off. If Menashe Azani had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. HaOn's Koko Elhadad proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 8th minute of the match, managed to save HaOn from getting a goal against them. Menashe Azani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Amram Jano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Azrikam Por scored 1-0 in the 15th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Koko Elhadad, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 18th minute of the match Stass Yahalom shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Koko Elhadad showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Yako Madar hit a great freekick 20 minutes into the match. Koko Elhadad was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 21st minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Sasha Fischer. Thanks to some nice moves Azrikam Por could shoot a difficult shot in the 22nd minute, which Koko Elhadad however easily saved by the left post. Azrikam Por sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Menashe Azani fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Amram Jano having to interfere. Koko Elhadad made a fantastic save in the 32nd minute, when Azrikam Por sent off a good shot on target. HaOn's Koko Elhadad played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gadi Mitelman in the 33rd minute of play. FC Ofaqim's Gadi Mitelman got a good chance for a goal in the 42nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

Orel Shvartz struck a weak shot in the 52nd minute. Amram Jano didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for HaOn. If Gadi Mitelman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 70 minutes into the match, HaOn's Menashe Azani sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Amram Jano narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The crowd rose to their feet as HaOn's Menashe Azani slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Amram Jano. That made the score 1-1 after 78 minutes of play. If Azrikam Por had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The HaOn players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented FC Ofaqim from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
