In the four-goal thriller at the Lod Municipal Stadium, Guyana international Emery Welshman gave the visitors a second-minute lead from the penalty spot after Olawale was brought down in the goal area by one of Qasim’s defenders. The lead lasted for just eight minutes as Mohammed Khatib levelled matters for Aviram Matmon’s side thanks to an assist from midfielder Roy Dayan. Despite impressive attacking moves from both teams, the first-half ended one goal apiece. Like a house on fire, the hosts commenced the second-half on a lively note but they were unable to get past goalkeeper Niv Antman who put up a commendable showing.
