Hapoel Ihud Bnei Jatt — Hapoel Ironi Karmiel: 1:3, Liga Alef

HaPoel Ironi Carmiel secured a 3-1 away victory against HaPoel Ichud Bnei Yehud in the North division of Liga Alef on Friday evening. The result moves the visitors further clear of the relegation zone as they continue to build momentum under their current system.

The hosts started brightly and took the lead through M. Wathed in the fifteenth minute. They should have doubled their advantage before the break, but B. Azobel's goal in the forty-fifth minute was enough to rest on at the interval. By then the visitors had not yet found their rhythm.

Carmiel changed their approach after the break and came back. A goal in the sixty-ninth minute shifted the balance, and I. Arazi gave them the lead in the seventy-first. A. Mizrahi added a third in the eighty-fifth to put the game beyond doubt.

The statistics tell a story of control. The visitors dominated possession with 57 per cent and registered seven shots on target to three. They also had nine shots off target, meaning many chances went begging. The hosts managed only five corners and picked up three yellow cards in frustration.

Carmiel now sit fifth in the table with 33 points from 22 games. The win extends their recent run of results and shows they can respond when facing pressure. Bnei Yehud have work to do if they want to climb higher.
