Beitar appeared more dangerous for significant portions of the game, with Jordan Shua creating several excellent opportunities. Maccabi struggled with Beitar's pressure, losing possession in dangerous areas. However, Beitar's final actions in attack often faltered. Defender Bryan Carabalí was a standout for Beitar, making crucial saves, including the most important one of the evening.
The first half saw a major chance in the 26th minute when Shua's pass found Kalou, whose shot hit the post and rolled along the goal line before going out. Later, Kalou missed another opportunity from close range. A minor incident occurred just before halftime when Shua took a free kick from Carabalí, leading to an angry reaction from the defender.
In the second half, Shua continued to be involved in attacking plays, but his efforts were unsuccessful. Around the 65th minute, the game opened up with both teams attacking freely, but finishing remained a problem. Maccabi had a golden opportunity in the 89th minute when Dor Peretz intercepted a poor back pass and had an open goal, but Carabalí managed to clear the ball off the line with his foot, preserving the draw.
