In an intensely contested match, Maccabi Herzliya clinched a narrow 1-0 victory over Hapoel Kfar Saba. The decisive moment came just before halftime when Maccabi's well-executed attack resulted in a goal at the 47th minute. Despite Maccabi Herzliya's goal-scoring moment, the first half was mostly dominated by aggressive play, as evidenced by the dispersion of yellow cards—two for Maccabi and two quick successive warnings for Hapoel Kfar Saba within just over a minute, reflecting the heightened tension between the teams at that point.

The statistics indicated a strong defensive effort by Hapoel Kfar Saba, who, despite conceding a goal, managed to fend off further threats from the home team, limiting them to four corner kicks. In contrast, Hapoel Kfar Saba pushed forward with six corners but struggled with their conversion into viable scoring opportunities. This ongoing struggle in turning set-pieces into goals was a defining aspect of the match, as their offensives were met with staunch resistance.

Maccabi's discipline, however, became questionable, particularly in the second half, as they accumulated three more yellow cards, bringing their total to five. This could be attributed to a heightened effort to maintain their slim lead. Meanwhile, despite failing to find the net, Hapoel Kfar Saba displayed superior discipline with no offside infractions and fewer cards. Yet, the ability of Maccabi Herzliya to capitalize on a critical chance while maintaining a cohesive defensive structure was paramount, underscoring their effective, albeit aggressive, strategy to secure the win.
