In the Premier League - Women's football match-up on 18 January 2024, the contest saw Hapoel Raanana and Hapoel Petach Tikva engaged in a nail-biting duel with Petach Tikva eventually emerging triumphant by a 3-2 margin. As it turned out, it was vital to gain an early lead while Hapoel Petach Tikva overpowered Raanana with two goals in the first half.

Hapoel Petach Tikva made an assertive start as they scored just over six minutes into the game. Doubling their lead just before 33 minutes was the away side that stamped their authority in the game. Then, two minutes later, Raanana pulled one back, indicating a comeback, which would prove difficult against the strong away side.

But the game was far from over. Raanana put a lot of effort into the second half, and, about eight minutes into the second half, netted their second goal bringing the score to 2-3. It was clear that they were not going to back down easily.

However, the higher number of corner kicks for Petach Tikva, five to Raanana's one, underscores Petach Tikva's deeper infiltration into the opposition's half and better attacking opportunities. Despite the home side’s commendable effort in the second half, the away side's robust early offensive strategy held the sway.

Disciplinary actions were distributed between both teams, with Raanana racking up two yellow cards, slightly overshadowing Petach Tikva's lone tranche. This suggests that Petach Tikva managed to maintain more discipline under pressure.

Neither team encountered a red card situation, indicating a competitive yet disciplined showdown. The second yellow card to Raanana during the first half did not drastically affect their approach as they managed to score their second goal in the second half anyway.

While Raanana did manage to create some scoring opportunities, the match statistics suggest, they struggled to control the ball as Petach Tikva created more set-piece opportunities through corner kicks. It was a tight game wherein an early lead, better ball control, and discipline shaped the final outcome.
