Match report
Bnei Yehuda secured a 2-1 victory over Hapoel Kfar Sava in the Liga Leumit on Monday evening, moving further clear in the second tier. The visitors took the lead after just two minutes of stoppage time, then held on through a restless second half. The result extends their unbeaten run to nine matches across all competitions.
B. Hadadi gave the hosts a shock advantage in the eighteenth minute, but Y. Solel responded almost immediately to restore parity before the quarter-hour mark. M. Levy then added a second for the away side in the sixty-seventh minute, and that proved decisive. Hapoel never found a way back after the break.
By then the visitors had already justified our earlier assessment — we had called for a Bnei Yehuda win at 53 per cent confidence, and the match played out as expected. They were the steadier side, rarely rattled despite Hapoel's attempts to press. The clean-sheet run came to an end for the hosts, who have now lost five of seven league games.
Statistics tell a story of efficiency over volume. Bnei Yehuda registered 11 shots on target against 3, while Hapoel managed only 3 on target from 17 attempts. The visitors held 55 per cent possession and launched 86 attacks compared to 75 for the hosts, but it was the quality of their finishing that mattered. Hapoel dallied on the ball too often in the final third and paid for it.
The table now shows Bnei Yehuda in second place with 17 points from seven matches, still unbeaten in the league. Hapoel remain thirteenth with 6 points, and they are running out of games before the winter break. The gap between them widens by three points, and the visitors camped in the final third long enough to see the game out without further incident.
