In this tightly contested Liga Leumit match, Hapoel Nir Ramat HaSharon edged out Hapoel Umm al-Fahm with a 2-1 victory. The home side opened the scoring in the first half, with a goal in the 31st minute. This early advantage set the tone for Hapoel Nir Ramat HaSharon, who managed to maintain offensive pressure with six corners, compared to the away team's four, forcing the visitors to stay on the back foot for significant stretches of the match.

Despite the initial setback, Hapoel Umm al-Fahm showed resilience by equalizing shortly after the break, at the 67th minute mark. Their ability to draw level indicated efficient use of possession and sharp counter-attacking, as evidenced by their ability to exploit the home defense during this period. However, their failure to capitalize further was hampered by a lack of finishing touch, with a noticeably low number of shots on target, limiting their scoring opportunities.

Key to Hapoel Nir Ramat HaSharon's eventual victory was their superior teamwork and a more disciplined defense throughout the match. Although both teams shared a similar foul count, 12 for Umm al-Fahm and 11 for Nir Ramat HaSharon, the latter managed to avoid any significant defensive lapses. The home side’s patience bore fruit once again in the 87th minute, securing them a crucial winner. This second goal highlighted their tactical effectiveness and ability to execute under pressure, propelling them to a well-deserved win amidst a match characterized by its intense mid-field battles and intermittent, decisive attacking play.
