Hapoel Jerusalem
Ironi Kiryat Shmona
Ironi Kiryat Shmona secured a crucial away victory against bottom-placed Hapoel Jerusalem with a disciplined performance that saw them capitalize on their limited chances. The visitors absorbed early pressure before Ariel Sheratzky broke the deadlock on 57 minutes, converting what proved to be the match-winner after being booked for a first-half foul. Jerusalem's desperation showed in the closing stages as they accumulated multiple bookings for time-wasting and dissent, with substitute Jwan Halabi receiving a straight red card in stoppage time for a reckless challenge. This vital three points lifts Kiryat Shmona further away from the relegation zone while Jerusalem remain rooted to the bottom of Ligat ha'Al, their poor form continuing with another home defeat.
