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. Peter Eldan started the match with the kick off. Jachin Picower was a little too slow when Peter Eldan got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 4th minute. The score was now 1-0. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Barachia Vainer managed to get in a good position for a shot. Beitar Jerusalem's supporters rose to their feet, but Barachia Vainer was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jachin Picower breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Jachin Picower showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Peter Eldan, who was totally free with the ball in the 12th minute. Barachia Vainer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jachin Picower having to interfere. Jared Bonfeld hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Jair Harlamp in the 23rd minute a chance for a shot on goal.

After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Jair Harlamp managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Sedom's supporters rose to their feet, but Jair Harlamp was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

Amitsur Har-Zion showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jair Harlamp in the 27th minute of the match. Amitsur Har-Zion made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Davin Ben Shalom in the 28th minute of play. After 31 minutes, Yeshayahu Saharoff mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the SC Sedom and the Beitar Jerusalem players grew even worse after the yellow card. Yeshayahu Saharoff hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match. A hard shot by Yoram Rudnik from long distance, 32 minutes into the match, got Jachin Picower's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. If Jair Harlamp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match had been going on for 43 minutes, Beitar Jerusalem's Yoram Rudnik got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Jachin Picower.

Amitsur Har-Zion took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Davin Ben Shalom, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Barachia Vainer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
