In the Premier League match dated 05 March 2023 at 18:15 EEST, Hapoel Tel Aviv took on Beitar Jerusalem on their homeland. Final score reads Hapoel Tel Aviv as the victors, with a 3-1 victory over Beitar Jerusalem.

Beitar Jerusalem scored the first goal of the match at the 14:50 mark, however, Hapoel Tel Aviv was quick to respond with a goal in 51st minute, leading to a 1-1 stand-off at the end of the first half. Hapoel Tel Aviv came out stronger in the second half, scoring two key goals at 81st and 93rd minute securing a decisive 3-1 victory.

Despite Beitar Jerusalem leading the game in corner kicks with a whopping 11-1, they clearly struggled to capitalize on these positional advantages on the field. This lack of offensive productivity from these potential scoring positions was a significant factor in their defeat.

Hapoel Tel Aviv, on the other hand, controlled their game and proved that quantity is not always the key. Their competitiveness and discipline in maintaining possession and creating high-quality scoring opportunities from fewer corners is an important takeaway from this match.

Beitar Jerusalem's tendency to foul was another notable aspect of the game. With 5 yellow cards over the span of the match, one in the 16th minute, two more within a minute of each other at the 42nd and 43rd minutes, and the final two at the 82nd and the 92nd minutes – one minute after each goal from Hapoel Tel Aviv in the second half. In contrast, Hapoel Tel Aviv seemed more disciplined, with only 3 yellow cards and 13 fouls.

The behavior of Beitar Jerusalem on the field, which resulted in numerous yellow cards, can be seen as a contributing factor in their loss. Their aggressive style of play may have resulted in unnecessary fouls, which led to missed opportunities and seemingly a lack of concentration. Critics might argue this lack of discipline allowed Hapoel Tel Aviv to take control of the game.

Although the home team had more opportunities (corner kicks) and maintained possession due to Hapoel Tel Aviv's 13 fouls, Hapoel Tel Aviv showed more professionalism with effective possessions. They managed to convert their limited opportunities into goals, turning the tide of the match. Beitar Jerusalem's 5 yellow cards might indicate a loss of composure that Hapoel Tel Aviv took advantage of. It appears that discipline, smart play and effectively utilizing opportunities were the deciding factors of this match.
