Match report
Hapoel Marmorek lost 0:1 to Hapoel Ramat HaSharon in the South third stage of Liga Alef on Thursday. R. Messika put the visitors ahead with a goal in the 45th minute, and that proved to be the difference. The match ended with the home side having played much of the second half with ten men after a red card.
Messika found the net just before the interval. By then Marmorek had already seen a player sent off, and the momentum shifted. The away side held a high line and pressed, but it was the early advantage that kept them in it.
The home team finished with 45 per cent possession despite having more attacks — 141 to 145 — and more corners, six to one. They registered three shots on target against five for the visitors, and the clean-sheet run came to an end for no one here. Possession meant little when the away side could not convert.
Marmorek sit 12th with 24 points from 22 games, while Ramat HaSharon remain 15th on 19 points. The hosts have won six and drawn six, but lost ten. The visitors managed five wins and five draws before twelve defeats.
Both sides came into this fixture with mixed recent form. Marmorek had lost their previous outing 0:1 away to Holon Yeramiach before beating Hapoel Hadera 1:0. Ramat HaSharon drew 1:1 with Maane Yehuda and then 0:0 at Holon Yeramiach.
The result leaves the gap between them at five points with three games still to play. Marmorek cannot afford another setback, while Ramat HaSharon know they must keep their side in it if they want to climb.
