In the Premier League fixture dated 30 December 2023, Hapoel Beer Sheva clinched a decisive 3-1 victory over FC Ashdod. The game was intense, with both teams showcasing their strengths. However, in the end, Hapoel Beer Sheva's tactical brilliance and assertive gameplay paid dividends. They capitalized on their scoring opportunities and managed the game efficiently.

FC Ashdod, though they had first taken the lead at 5:25 of the first half, failed to consolidate. Hapoel Beer Sheva quickly caught up at 21:45 to close the first half at a 1-1 tie. The second half of the game was dominated by Hapoel Beer Sheva who broke the tie with a goal at 68:27 and later sealed their win with a third goal at 86:01.

Discipline issues did come into play for both teams, with FC Ashdod earning three yellow cards and even one red card—the only one in the match— which no doubt hampered their output on the ground. Hapoel Beer Sheva, while maintaining better discipline overall, also received four yellow cards.

In terms of attacking platforms, typically derived through corner kicks, both teams were statistically at par with 2 each. They, however, did not translate into score augmenting assaults effectively. While Hapoel Beer Sheva was penalized three times for offside, which suggests an ambitious attacking mindset, FC Ashdod was only caught once in the offside trap.

The winning team also played cleaner, committing only six fouls compared to FC Ashdod's nine. This is an encouraging aspect as it highlights disciplined play and respect for the rules.

To sum up, the two major factors that contributed significantly to Hapoel Beer Sheva's victory were their effective utilization of the scoring opportunities – the shots on target, and disciplined gameplay compared to FC Ashdod.

While both teams exhibited tenacity and ambition, it was Hapoel Beer Sheva's ability to retort quickly, maintain discipline, and persist with the attack that underscored their superiority. FC Ashdod will need to look back at this game to reform their discipline and channelize their aggression productively for better on-pitch results.
