In a fiercely contested Liga Leumit match, Hapoel Rishon LeZion edged out Hapoel Acre FC with a 2-1 victory, largely influenced by disciplined gameplay and timely execution. Despite the home team, Hapoel Acre FC, controlling the tempo with nine corner kicks to the away team's five, they couldn't capitalize on these set-piece opportunities. Meanwhile, Hapoel Rishon LeZion's ability to remain relatively disciplined with only three offsides compared to the home team's four allowed them to maintain fluency in their attacking plays.

A significant turning point in the match was Hapoel Acre's failure to manage their discipline, resulting in four yellow cards and a crucial red card. These bookings were a clear reflection of their aggressive style which led to a whopping 21 fouls compared to Hapoel Rishon LeZion's 12. The excessive fouling interrupted their momentum and put them on the back foot, especially following the red card, which further tilted the scales in favor of Hapoel Rishon LeZion.

The tactical superiority of Hapoel Rishon LeZion came to the fore in the second half, evidenced by their strategic substitutions and efficient attacking plays. Their ability to find the back of the net twice in the latter stages of the game demonstrated clinical finishing, especially given that both goals came during critical junctures of the match. Hapoel Acre's equalizer shortly after Rishon LeZion's first goal seemed to ignite hope, but the visitors' decisive second goal at 89:43 proved the decisive blow. Their resilience and tactical discipline were pivotal in securing the victory amidst a backdrop of relentless pressure and physicality from the home side.
