Mashah Arena
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Karlo Mishali started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. The audience was convinced that Jesse Lichtman's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Kain Semel was relentless in the 2nd minute of the game. When Avichayil Amzaleg came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the SC Mashah 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 Avichayil Amzaleg couldn't finish the play. In the 6th minute, Zili Sommerfeld hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Galron Shlisser charged in rather forcefully in the 15th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Galron Shlisser the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 15th minute, Galron Shlisser hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some careless play in the SC Mashah defense, Sidi Elmualm kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Charlie Gehr. The SC Mashah fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Charlie Gehr should have stopped the shot. A collision led to Kurdani getting a freekick after 20 minutes play. Sidi Por hit a great ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Avichayil Amzaleg got free with Kain Semel in the 21st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 26th minute of the match SC Mashah got a corner. Kurdani's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Addi Kanievsky ran over to the corner to take the kick. A nice corner shot did that Addi Kanievsky got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Kain Semel quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Kain Semel showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jesse Lichtman, who was totally free with the ball in the 27th minute. The supporters of SC Mashah booed when Kurdani was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 28 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sidi Por didn't get a good kick on the ball. The crowd rose to their feet as SC Mashah's Jesse Lichtman slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Kain Semel. That made the score 2-1 after 33 minutes of play. Karlo Mishali struck a weak shot in the 38th minute. Charlie Gehr didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kurdani. Avichayil Amzaleg fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kain Semel having to interfere. If Karlo Mishali had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Jesse Lichtman made a kick off. Kurdani's Kain Semel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Avichayil Amzaleg in the 52nd minute of play. In the 53rd minute, Zili Sommerfeld hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 55th minute, Avner Gavish managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kurdani's supporters rose to their feet, but Avner Gavish was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Charlie Gehr breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 61 played minutes SC Mashah got a freekick which was hit by Toar Ben Isaiah. After having played for 65 minutes, Karlo Mishali managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kurdani's supporters crossed their fingers, but Karlo Mishali was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Karlo Mishali received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Charlie Gehr tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 76 minutes, Jesse Lichtman made it 3-1 with a short kick to the right side. Kurdani's Kain Semel tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. If Jesse Lichtman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jesse Lichtman sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 86 minutes into the game, Avichayil Amzaleg was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. SC Mashah's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Kurdani the free kick. Jesse Lichtman received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Kain Semel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
