Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Haim Arazi made the kick off which started today's match. Shoval Zapir sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the match had gone on for 5 minutes, Ilya Saban took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Vladic Nyba to make any attempt to save it. Shoval Zapir fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vladic Nyba having to interfere. Shoval Zapir who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 10thth minute tested the skills of Vladic Nyba when he managed to save the team from getting behind. In the 15th minute of the match Mahmud Talker shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Ayalon Amzaleg showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. If Shoval Zapir had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Worky Haymovitz kicked well hit freekick during the 18th minute of the match. In the 20th minute Calev Itay shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ayalon Amzaleg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 22 minutes into the match, Musheirifa's goalkeeper Vladic Nyba had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Shoval Zapir. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ilya Saban in the 32nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Vladic Nyba saved Musheirifa from getting behind. Ayalon Amzaleg showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Haim Arazi, who was totally free with the ball in the 41st minute. The referee gave Musheirifa a penalty, 43 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Paz Shoval, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of FC Pardesiyah's Ayalon Amzaleg. 1-1. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ilya Saban to make the kick off. Ilya Saban might have been able to make a better finish in the 58th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Vladic Nyba. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ilya Saban ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 59th minute Shoval Zapir shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vladic Nyba saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. FC Pardesiyah's Elisha Shivhon got a good chance for a goal in the 62nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Shoval Zapir in the 63rd minute of play forced Musheirifa's goalkeeper Vladic Nyba to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The crowd rose to their feet as Haim Arazi kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Ayalon Amzaleg. That made the score 1-2 in the 65 minute of play. Calev Itay in the 75thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Ayalon Amzaleg, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. If Ilya Saban had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 82nd match minute, Musheirifa was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mahmud Talker to maneuver through the defense. Kmori Avrahami recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 91st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Calev Itay struck a weak shot in the 94th minute. Ayalon Amzaleg didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Musheirifa. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Musheirifa had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
