Today, ELIRAN's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. guy were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. ELIRAN's V. Filisov was shown a yellow card after 5 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A loud groan was heard from the fans of guy, as G. Panov left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. F. Dehoff took his place on the field. Attacking on the wings was the choice for guy, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The guests took the lead 13 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in B. Oshipko scoring to make it 0 - 1. P. Brioude seemed to be impossibly far from the goal, but he looked up and bang! A real cracker for guy after 21 minutes. 0 - 2. The referee showed guy's B. Zeldenrust the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The home crowd was not impressed when B. Oshipko came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 23 minutes. guy were now up 0 - 3. The players of guy now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. With 30 minutes played, guy put themselves up 0 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Ingerslev. After 36 minutes guy's B. Oshipko limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. 0 - 4 was the halftime score. guy claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 60 percent.

Had it not been for one of the home defenders, B. Oshipko would have put guy up another goal 71 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. ELIRAN's E. Givati managed a superb strike from the left after 72 minutes that would have left goalkeeper G. Moorehead without a chance, had it not hit the post. guy were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. After 79 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed T. Suvrijn to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 5. ELIRAN's A. Fournier refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 80 minutes. L. Czekalski came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over K. De Voeght but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. It was obvious that ELIRAN had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. 82 minutes into the game ELIRAN managed a counterattack, but M. Niv took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper. Players in ELIRAN heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. ELIRAN's M. Niv found himself alone on the left side 84 minutes into the match and laid down a perfect shot - right into the arms of the keeper! The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave L. Czekalski from guy a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 86 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! A. Fournier was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so ELIRAN's D. Rolnik had to come off the bench. The ELIRAN captaincy was handed to E. Givati. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by guy, with 63 percent of the ball.

ELIRAN's best player was M. Niv. On the other hand, D. Rolnik's play was disheartening. M. Ingerslev performed admirably for guy. F. Dehoff was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
