Spectators: 7673 (Terracing: 5755, Seating: 1765, VIP seats: 153) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Zchariyhu Dafni took the kick off in the first half of the match. Domingos Torres kicked well hit freekick during the 3rd minute of the match. Jose Vimaro showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ofir Erl in the 3rd minute of the match. The supporters of La Maquina 9-12-18 booed when Magen David was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Momo Ranevsky didn't get a good kick on the ball. Candido Ebardo scored 0-1 in the 9th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Vardimon Deitch, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Filiberto Bero in the 13th minute of play forced Magen David's goalkeeper Vardimon Deitch to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Zchariyhu Dafni was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 14th minute. Magen David's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Momo Ranevsky took the ball and in the 16 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jose Vimaro. Jose Vimaro dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. Momo Ranevsky's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 19thth minute, Jose Vimaro skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. After some careless play in the La Maquina 9-12-18 defense, Momo Ranevsky kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jose Vimaro. The La Maquina 9-12-18 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jose Vimaro should have stopped the shot. The La Maquina 9-12-18 fans' excitement grew in the 34th match minute when La Maquina 9-12-18's Alejo Bazkoare looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 2-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After a defensive mix-up in Magen David's zone, Dario Gelacio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Vardimon Deitch came out of the goal and Dario Gelacio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 2-2 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Alejo Bazkoare made a kick off. Vardimon Deitch made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Candido Ebardo in the 50th minute of play. Alejo Bazkoare could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 52nd minute of the match, but Vardimon Deitch made a huge save. If Zchariyhu Dafni had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 66 minutes into the game, Dario Gelacio recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Vardimon Deitch. Dario Gelacio showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-3. After 70 played minutes La Maquina 9-12-18 got a freekick which was hit by Dario Gelacio. Vardimon Deitch made an important save on a dangerous shot by Alejo Bazkoare in the 72nd minute. With an all-out effort, La Maquina 9-12-18's Vardimon Deitch threw himself towards the right post 73 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Candido Ebardo, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Alejo Bazkoare could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 74th minute of the match, but Vardimon Deitch made a huge save. Magen David's Vardimon Deitch proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 74th minute of the match, managed to save Magen David from getting a goal against them. Filiberto Bero could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 76th minute of the match, but Vardimon Deitch made a huge save. In the 88th minute, Dario Gelacio ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Vardimon Deitch was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-5. Zchariyhu Dafni struck a weak shot in the 92nd minute. Jose Vimaro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Magen David. In the 95th match minute, Magen David was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Arkady Biber to maneuver through the defense. La Maquina 9-12-18's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
