Spectators: 7742 (Terracing: 5808, Seating: 1780, VIP seats: 154) Anael Salzberg made the kick off and thus started the match. 3 minutes into the match, Cosecha 576's goal looked a bit too open when Eliran Yabra came free, but Bartholomew Balfur reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Bartholomew Balfur made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Adamson Zifer in the 7th minute of play. The long shot by Binyamin Engert in the 10th minute really tested Jett Schusterman's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. In the 15th minute the ball was on its way in behind SC Basirah's goalkeeper Jett Schusterman, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Bartholomew Balfur took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Shia Gendel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 21st minute Anael Salzberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jett Schusterman saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 22 played minutes SC Basirah got a freekick which was hit by Tamuz Molcho. SC Basirah's Jett Schusterman proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 23rd minute of the match, managed to save SC Basirah from getting a goal against them. 25 minutes into the game, Iago Shpigel was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Cosecha 576's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave SC Basirah the free kick. The supporters of SC Basirah booed when Cosecha 576 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Iago Shpigel didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 30th minute, Nedaviah Sinai got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. When Adamson Zifer came up free with the goalie in the 42nd minute, the SC Basirah 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 Adamson Zifer couldn't finish the play. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Adamson Zifer to make the kick off. After 53 played minutes Cosecha 576 got a freekick which was hit by Yechamiah Dayagi. Shia Gendel blasted a shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Bartholomew Balfur having to make a save. After some fancy dribbling in the 56th minute, Adamson Zifer managed to get in a good position for a shot. SC Basirah's supporters rose to their feet, but Adamson Zifer was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bartholomew Balfur breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Adamson Zifer might have been able to make a better finish in the 58th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bartholomew Balfur. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Adamson Zifer ran back to his position shaking his head. The audience thought a goal was coming when Shia Gendel got free with Bartholomew Balfur in the 60th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Adamson Zifer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Shia Gendel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bartholomew Balfur made an important save on a dangerous shot by Shia Gendel in the 66th minute. Nedaviah Sinai struck a weak shot in the 82nd minute. Jett Schusterman didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cosecha 576. Adamson Zifer received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Bartholomew Balfur tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bartholomew Balfur was out of position in the 94 minute of play, and Adamson Zifer capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Adamson Zifer really showed his touch with that goal: 0-1. SC Basirah's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
