The Premier League match between Maccabi Netanya and Bnei Sakhnin on 30 January 2024 was a closely contested affair, which saw Bnei Sakhnin remarkably leave with a narrow 0-1 victory.

Despite Maccabi Netanya taking the lion's share of offensive set-pieces with an impressive count of 10 corner kicks, they were unable to convert these opportunities into any goals. In contrast, Bnei Sakhnin managed to capitalize on limited opportunities from set-pieces. They had just one corner kick, but it appears that efficiency over volume was the order of the day for them.

Discipline was a notable factor for both teams, each receiving three yellow cards. Maccabi Netanya's caution cards were mainly awarded in the second half (two out of three), indicating a potential shift in their playing approach during the latter half of the match. Bnei Sakhnin, in contrast, spread their disciplinary issues quite evenly across the two halves (one in the first half, two in the second).

In the fouls department, it was a relatively clean match. Maccabi Netanya's five fouls against Bnei Sakhnin's three shows a level of discipline from both teams, with total count not exceeding the average.

Overall, a combination of efficient play and strong defensive performance against a dominant Maccabi Netanya worked out well for Bnei Sakhnin. Their focus on limiting Netanya's exploits from corners was evidently a key factor towards their clean sheet.

However, the damning statistic in any football match is the scoreline. Despite the number of corners gained or the level of discipline displayed, Bnei Sakhnin managed to turn their minimal attacking opportunities into a decisive goal, scored at the 51st minute mark of the second half. This display of clinical finishing under pressurized circumstances set them apart on the day and handed them the victory.

Maccabi Netanya, on the other hand, despite maintaining rigorous pressure through corners and offensive plays, were stifled by a resilient Bnei Sakhnin defence. This proves once again that football matches are often won in the margins, and on this occasion, Bnei Sakhnin proved to be the masters of efficiency.
