In the fiercely contested match on the 11th of May 2024 with a 15:00 EEST kickoff in the Premier League, home side Maccabi Petach Tikva, showcased an aggressive display of football against the rivals, Hapoel Petach Tikva, with a lasting impact scored early in the match. The match ended 4-1 in favor of Maccabi Petach Tikva.

The aggressive tactics of Maccabi showed up in their offensive. The home team's ability to find the back of the net four times in the first half, with goals at 9:15, 15:46, 32:34 and 40:54 intensify the effectiveness of their strategy. Although Hapoel Petach Tikva did manage to retaliate, with a goal at 26:32, which made it 2-1 temporarily, the team could not consolidate on this success, which became evident by the end of the first half.

However, both teams were equal with 3 yellow cards each, suggesting an aggressive approach from both sides. It's also worth noting the additional disadvantage Hapoel faced as the match proceeded, with one of their players being dismissed due to a red card.

To conclude, the takeaway from this match does not solely revolve around the superiority in goals of Maccabi. Other key factors such as early goals, the inability of Hapoel to create chances via corners drastically affected the match's dynamic. The impact of fouls and cards also played a significant role in shaping the match's outcome.
