Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona lost against Hapoel Haifa (0-1) in the fourth game-week of the Toto Cup (and last of the first leg). A goal from Ben Basat in an isolated play on the first half ended up being decisive in spite of the superiority of the locals.
Carlos was a starter once again. Just like last year at Maccabi Petah Tikva, the centreback from Madrid has become crucial for his team. The 0-1 meant his first defeat at the Hapoel Ironi after one win and two draws. Nevertheless, Kiryat Shmona was already qualified for the quarter finals of the Toto Cup, round to which they gained access by being third of group A.
After these Cup important dates, Cuéllar's team need to focus on the league. Next Saturday, against Hapoel Ra'anana, his first game week of the competition at Hapoel Ironi.
