Bnei Yehuda beat Hapoel Acre 3-0 in the Liga Leumit Regular Season 3 on 31 August 2026. The visitors controlled proceedings from start to finish, taking all three points to move clear in second place while Acre remained rooted to the bottom of the table.
S. Nachmani opened the scoring in the 39th minute. His strike gave Bnei Yehuda a deserved lead before the interval, and it was a moment that set the tone for the rest of the afternoon. Acre had limited chances to respond and found themselves chasing the game.
B. Hadadi doubled the advantage just before half-time, striking in the 45th minute plus three. The goal killed any remaining hope of a comeback and left the hosts scrambling for answers. By then, Bnei Yehuda were firmly in control.
A third goal came in the 79th minute to seal the victory. The margin of victory was now unassailable, and the visitors could have added more had they pushed further. Acre's defence had been stretched thin throughout the match.
S. Dabah was shown a red card in the 81st minute, reducing the visitors to ten men but not threatening their lead. The dismissal came late enough that it made little difference to the outcome. Acre could not capitalise on the numerical advantage.
The statistics told the story of a one-sided contest. Bnei Yehuda enjoyed 58 per cent possession compared to 42 for the hosts, and registered 101 attacks against 80. They also took 10 shots off target and 4 on target, while Acre managed just 6 off target and 1 on target. Many of the chances went begging for the visitors, but three goals were enough.
The result leaves Bnei Yehuda second with six points from two games, unbeaten and looking strong. Acre sit 16th with zero points from two defeats, their poor run continuing. The gap between the two sides is widening by the week.
