In this Premier League Women's match between Maccabi Kiryat Gat SC and Hapoel Jerusalem FC, Hapoel Jerusalem emerged victorious with a tight 2-1 win. The away side established early dominance with a swift goal at the 33rd minute, which set the tempo for the rest of the match. Maccabi Kiryat Gat struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, evidenced by fewer offensive opportunities and a lack of shots on target. Hapoel's smoother transition play and ability to capitalize on early opportunities was a decisive factor in their victory.

Hapoel Jerusalem's second goal, soon after the break at the 52nd minute, showcased their continued offensive pressure and effective utilization of set pieces, as highlighted by their seven corner kicks compared to Maccabi Kiryat Gat's four. Maccabi responded with vigor and managed to convert one of their opportunities late into the game, scoring in the 85th minute. This late resurgence, however, wasn't enough to overcome Hapoel's lead. The disparity in corner kicks and offside calls (Maccabi with only one offside, compared to Hapoel’s four) indicates Hapoel's aggressive forward play, yet with less control over their attacking timing.

Discipline played a pivotal role, with both teams receiving a yellow card each. Maccabi's yellow card in the second half did not adversely affect their defensive strategy. Yet, the earlier yellow card for Hapoel did little to stymie their aggressive play. Ultimately, Hapoel's ability to maintain composure, control the midfield, and utilize set-piece opportunities effectively solidified their lead. Maccabi Kiryat Gat's inability to convert their attacking opportunities highlighted a critical area for improvement moving forward, particularly in capitalizing on their set-piece plays.
