Hapoel Rishon LeZion secured a solid 2-0 victory over Hapoel Raanana, displaying a clinical edge in front of goal. The home team’s attacking efficiency was evident with two goals scored from their limited shots on target. The first goal came relatively early, setting the tone for the match, while the second early in the second half allowed Rishon LeZion to control the tempo thereafter.

Defensively, Hapoel Rishon LeZion maintained a disciplined structure. They committed only six fouls compared to Raanana's nine, evidencing a controlled aggression that kept them from conceding dangerous set-pieces. The single yellow card further highlights their disciplined approach, contrasting with Raanana’s three yellow cards, which may have disrupted their rhythm and contributed to their inability to mount a comeback.

In terms of set pieces, Rishon LeZion showed an effective use of corner kicks, earning six compared to Raanana’s five. The home side effectively dealt with Raanana’s attempts to exploit set-piece opportunities and limited their offside calls to one, indicating strong positional awareness in attack. Raanana’s three offside infringements, on the other hand, suggest a lack of timing in their offensive movement, possibly fueled by frustration as the match progressed. This, combined with their failure to convert any chances, highlighted the significant gap in execution between the two sides.
