Bnei Yehuda began to tire and we knew how to take advantage of the situation, we scored a pair of goals and controlled the pace of play. We are continuing down our path and we are beginning to countdown towards the end of the season after passing the halfway mark of the campaign. As every match goes by we are getting closer to our goal.
