Maccabi started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Limor - Pollak, Almograbi, Reznik, Skandrani - Dim, Baron, Regev, Israel - Goren, Shaharabani.

REDHED demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. 11 minutes into the game, O. Dim was a hair's breadth away from giving Maccabi the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by E. Noah saved the home team that time. Slack defending gave REDHED a chance to take the lead with 24 minutes played, but D. Tello's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. L. Israel sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from O. Pollak after 29 minutes of play, making the score 0 - 1. After 31 minutes of play, the free-spirited G. Galun decided to go for goal as he struck the ball from the corner of the pitch. The ball hit a defender in the face and bounced out of play. With the crowd on their feet chanting wildly, some great moves down the right hand side after 32 minutes gave REDHED a wonderful opportunity to level the score, and C. Andrade stepped up to the challenge. 1 - 1 REDHED took the lead, 2 - 1, after a penalty 41 minutes into the match. D. Darnowski scored from the penalty spot. The score became 3 - 1 at 42 minutes into the game, when REDHED were given a penalty which D. Darnowski blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! D. Darnowski could have put REDHED up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 43 minutes. Halftime score was 3 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by REDHED, with 83 percent of the ball.

REDHED increased the lead as C. Warren struck to make the score 4 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. At this point, it was obvious that the players of REDHED lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After 53 minutes, a long pass from REDHED's G. Galun caught the defence out of position. D. Darnowski collected the ball, and with the goal at his mercy calmly rolled the ball just inside the post. 5 - 1. By then D. Darnowski had scored three goals - a hat trick! Things were going to get worse for the visitors. C. Warren squirmed through their central defence after 54 minutes, increasing the lead to 6 - 1. Cheers filled the stadium as D. Darnowski broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 7 - 1 to REDHED. Maccabi had to make a substitution after 83 minutes. O. Dim limped off the field and was replaced by M. Ali. REDHED solidified their lead at the 84 minute mark, as C. Cáceres dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 8 - 1. REDHED had most of the ball, with 85 percent of possession.

The most dominating REDHED player was without a doubt D. Tello. On the other hand, C. Andrade's play was disheartening. M. Ali performed admirably for Maccabi. However, R. Limor made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 8 - 1.
