In an intense encounter between Hapoel Petach Tikva and FC Kafr Qasim, the home side clinched a narrow 1-0 victory. The decisive moment came in the first half when Hapoel Petach Tikva netted a well-crafted goal at 34 minutes. Despite having fewer corners with just 3 compared to FC Kafr Qasim’s 7, the home team effectively capitalized on their limited opportunities. This highlights their efficiency and clinical edge in front of goal, contrasting with Kafr Qasim’s inability to translate set-piece advantages into scoring opportunities.

FC Kafr Qasim's performance was hindered by a lack of discipline, accruing three yellow cards, two of which came in the first half. This lack of composure disrupted their rhythm and hindered their ability to control the game effectively. In contrast, while Hapoel Petach Tikva also picked up three yellow cards, they maintained better structured gameplay, allowing them to hold onto their lead. The frequent stoppages due to fouls, particularly in the second half, created a fragmented game that benefitted the team with the lead, affecting Kafr Qasim's comeback efforts.

Both teams exhibited solid defensive structures, indicated by the limited goal-scoring opportunities and just three yellow cards each in a match brimming with tackles and physical battles. However, Petach Tikva's ability to strike early and maintain defensive solidity without any red cards ensured their victory. The effective management of the offside trap, where Kafr Qasim was caught offside twice, further exemplified Hapoel Petach Tikva's tactical discipline, which was crucial in securing a clean sheet and ultimately the win.
