Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Nathan Tzimkhoni started the match with the kick off. Abe Gavra sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. SC Kannir's Ravid Alfandari proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 10th minute of the match, managed to save SC Kannir from getting a goal against them. Benny Levitski took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abe Gavra, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Mor Eskeles succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 18th playminute. Benny Levitski didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Nathan Tzimkhoni went, in the 23rd minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score.

Benny Levitski showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abe Gavra in the 31st minute of the match. When Nathan Tzimkhoni came up free with the goalie in the 35th minute, the SC Kannir 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 Nathan Tzimkhoni couldn't finish the play. The audience was convinced that Abe Gavra's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Benny Levitski was relentless in the 38th minute of the game. After 40 played minutes SC Kannir got a freekick which was hit by Shalev Fidel.

In the 53rd minute, Silvain Bormenthal hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Ravid Alfandari didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Haruzim. When Sagi Alcobi came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Haruzim 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 Sagi Alcobi couldn't finish the play. Nathan Tzimkhoni was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 60th minute. SC Kannir's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 62nd minute, Nathan Tzimkhoni managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Kannir's supporters rose to their feet, but Nathan Tzimkhoni was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Benny Levitski breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Abe Gavra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 81st minute Nathan Tzimkhoni shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Benny Levitski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
