In a highly tactical match between Ironi Kiryat Shmona and Maccabi Netanya, it was the visiting side that managed to secure a narrow 1-0 victory, courtesy of their goal early in the second half. The match was characterized by disciplined defensive structures from both teams, with Maccabi Netanya capitalizing on their solitary moment of offensive precision. Statistically, the match was tightly contested, with Ironi Kiryat Shmona having the edge in corner kicks but failing to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals.

Ironi Kiryat Shmona's inability to breach the Netanya defense was evident, as they struggled to maintain sustained attacking pressure despite earning six corner kicks compared to Netanya's four. Their inefficiency in front of goal was compounded by the lack of quality chances created, further highlighted by the absence of any goalscorers on their side. Meanwhile, Maccabi Netanya’s organization and timing allowed them to take the lead just ninety seconds into the second half, a goal that ultimately settled the contest.

The discipline and tactical awareness of Maccabi Netanya played a significant role in their victory. Despite receiving a yellow card just before halftime, they maintained their composure and organization. Ironi Kiryat Shmona, on the other hand, picked up two yellow cards within the first 30 minutes, which arguably hampered their aggressiveness in challenges and may have restricted their tactical flexibility. In the end, it was a professional display from Maccabi Netanya, exploiting their key opportunity to claim all three points.
