Ironi Kiryat Shmona secured a 2-0 victory over Hapoel Haifa on Saturday, marking their first win since late August and lifting them above the relegation zone. The team, coached by Haim Silvas, aimed to build on their previous win but were without Alon Tourgeman, who was injured in training. Hapoel Haifa, on the other hand, sought to end a seven-game winless streak.
Despite Hapoel Haifa having a stronger first half, they failed to create significant scoring opportunities. The game's turning point came just before halftime when Hapoel Haifa's Dario Jufarevic received a controversial second yellow card from referee Nael Odeh for protesting a foul, reducing his team to ten men.
With a numerical advantage, Ironi Kiryat Shmona dominated the second half. Shi Ben David scored a spectacular goal from outside the box, followed by a late counter-attack goal from Bilal Shaheen in stoppage time, after Hapoel Haifa had committed all their players forward.
This win propels Ironi Kiryat Shmona out of the bottom positions in the league standings.
