Alluding to the statistics at hand, the State Cup match between Hapoel Kfar Shalem (home team) and Maccabi Ironi Ashdod FC (away team) was marked by noteworthy intensity, evidenced by the total of 22 fouls committed by both teams (12 by Hapoel and 10 by Maccabi).

Maccabi Ironi Ashdod FC emerged victorious with a slim margin, scoring 2 goals against the home team's 1. This result might be attributed in part to Maccabi's better accuracy with their shots, as they had a total of 6 shots on target, as compared to Hapoel's 4. The margin could have been even greater if not for the home team's goalkeeper, who managed to make 5 saves.

While the home team had a higher number of corner kicks (7 to Maccabi's 5), they were unable to capitalize on these opportunities. Equally, Hapoel's 3 assists were unable to significantly influence the result of the match, with Maccabi's single assist proving more decisive in the end.

Substitution strategies were mirrored by both teams with three swaps each, but seemed to have little effect on the final outcome. Hapoel Kfar Shalem's more aggressive play, evidenced by their higher number of offsides and fouls, did not translate to more goals. In contrast, Maccabi Ironi Ashdod FC exhibited more disciplined play, which was reflected in the final scoreline.

In conclusion, despite Hapoel Kfar Shalem's home advantage and more offensive play in terms of corner kicks and attempts at the net, Maccabi Ironi Ashdod FC held their ground with better defensive work, more on-target attempts, and taking full advantage of their opportunities, walking away as the deserving victors of this keenly contested match. This game was an embodiment of the principle that only goals decide the game, and not necessarily the number of shots or the level of aggressiveness.
