In a closely contested match in the Liga Leumit, Maccabi Herzliya secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Hapoel Nof HaGalil FC. The home team got off to a strong start, with early pressure resulting in a vital opening goal at the 32nd minute. Herzliya effectively capitalized on their chances, managing another crucial goal just before the half-time whistle, shifting the momentum firmly in their favor. Despite having only one corner kick, their efficiency in front of the goal was a testament to their lethal counter-attacking strategy.

Hapoel Nof HaGalil FC, while trailing in the first half, demonstrated a spirited comeback in the second half. With five corner kicks, they maintained significant pressure, leading to their only goal in the 96th minute. This goal, however, came too late to overturn the deficit. Despite creating more set-piece opportunities, the team struggled with the final execution, which limited their ability to level the match.

Discipline was notably stricter on Maccabi Herzliya, who accrued four yellow cards within a brief seven-minute window in the second half. This indiscipline hinted at defensive frailties under pressure, which Hapoel could not fully exploit. Herzliya's compact defensive unit, despite occasional breaches marked by four offsides, showcased resilience essential in preserving their lead. Collectively, Herzliya's robust defense and clinical finishing overshadowed their susceptibility to aggressive plays, securing them the win.
