In this Liga Leumit matchup, Hapoel Kfar Shalem's 3-1 victory over Hapoel Raanana was significantly influenced by their efficient conversion rate and resilience in attack. Despite an even distribution in corner kicks at six apiece and similar offside tallies, Kfar Shalem dominated in finishing, capitalizing on their scoring opportunities better than their opposition. This was particularly evident with their three goals, including a crucial early second-half strike that reestablished their lead, disrupting any momentum that Raanana attempted to build.

Interestingly, discipline played a noteworthy role yet did not heavily disadvantage Kfar Shalem. Accumulating four yellow cards indicates a potentially aggressive approach that, while risky, managed to be contained without leading to any red-card dismissals. In contrast, Raanana, although more disciplined with zero yellow cards, failed to capitalize on a numerically complete side to exert pressure effectively, particularly following Kfar Shalem’s spirited responses after each challenge.

Hapoel Raanana's struggles stemmed partly from a lack of incisiveness in attack. Although they matched Kfar Shalem in set-piece opportunities, their goal was their sole conversion from these spells of pressure. In contrast, Kfar Shalem's goal-scoring pattern marked their ability to strike at pivotal moments in the game, demonstrating superior teamwork dynamics, especially in the transition from defense to attack, effectively sealing the win by maintaining composure and exploiting Raanana's defensive lapses.
