Spectators: 46 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 0) Maccabi Netanya's Mati Adamski started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Maccabi Netanya's Freddy Zelbitz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Raimundo Videl in the 5th minute of play. Mati Adamski kicked a quick shot right in front of the goal in the 13thth minute. Though ot was a great shot Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√'s keeper Amador Herensuge was sill able to block leaving the score board unchanged. Raimundo Videl blasted a shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Freddy Zelbitz having to make a save. Freddy Zelbitz stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Astor Gaufred's shot from short distance in the 19th minute. After 22 minutes of play, Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√'s Astor Gaufred made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Freddy Zelbitz was left in no man's land by his defense there! When Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√'s Astor Gaufred in the 27th minute got a chance for a shot 27th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Maccabi Netanya's goalie prevented a goal. Amador Herensuge made a fantastic save in the 28th minute, when Mati Adamski sent off a good shot on target. In the 30th minute Maccabi Netanya were awarded a corner. Amitsur Rafner went to the cornerflag to take it. Maccabi Netanya's Freddy Zelbitz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Astor Gaufred in the 32nd minute of play. After 34 minutes, Simeon Zibak mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Maccabi Netanya and the Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√ players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√ booed when Maccabi Netanya was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. Simeon Zibak didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a rather tough play, Maccabi Netanya's Aviam Rothman got a free kick in the 38th minute. Mati Adamski was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 43rd minute. Maccabi Netanya's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Maccabi Netanya's Tesher Goldfarb was substituted for Simeon Zibak. The wind increased when Astor Gaufred made the kick off in the second half. Victorio Koldo was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 54th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 55 minutes into the match, Maccabi Netanya's goal looked a bit too open when Astor Gaufred came free, but Freddy Zelbitz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Maccabi Netanya's Freddy Zelbitz proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 58th minute of the match, managed to save Maccabi Netanya from getting a goal against them. If Mati Adamski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Aviam Rothman's late challenge caught a Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aviam Rothman helped the player get up and apologised. In the 63rd match minute, Maccabi Netanya was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Aviam Rothman to maneuver through the defense. When Aviam Rothman was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 68 minutes had been played. Elyakim Cheulkar kicked well hit freekick during the 77th minute of the match. In the 79th minute, Tesher Goldfarb hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tesher Goldfarb might have been able to make a better finish in the 83rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Amador Herensuge. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Tesher Goldfarb ran back to his position shaking his head. Mati Adamski scored 1-2 in the 84th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Amador Herensuge, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Freddy Zelbitz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Raimundo Videl in the 89th minute of the match. When Astor Gaufred came up free with the goalie in the 92nd minute, the Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√ 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 Astor Gaufred couldn't finish the play. In the 94th minute, Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√'s Astor Gaufred ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Freddy Zelbitz. Freddy Zelbitz yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-3. In the 97th minute, one of Maccabi Netanya:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Maccabi Netanya. The goalkeeper, Freddy Zelbitz, was totally fooled by Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√'s Raimundo Videl, who 101 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. The Maccabi Netanya fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Đ∈p○rㄒﺃν○ ∈kдㄒ○m√ were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
