Kiryat Shmona achieved their second consecutive win after visiting Maccabi Haifa (1-2). Carlos Cuéllar, a starter and captain again, played the whole match. Hapoel Ironi was very near a clean sheet again, but a goal from Mizrachi avoided it on the 88'. Davidov (40') and Ryan (70') were the scorers of Cuéllar's team.
At the Sammy Ofer Stadium of Haifa, Carlos got to a special number: 40 games played in this current season. The centreback from Spain has only missed two matches (one in League and another in Toto Cup). Against Maccabi, Cuéllar performed brilliantly. He even saved a goal when the keeper was beaten and the score was only 0-1.

If Carlos plays next Saturday's match against Hapoel Akko he will increase those 40 matches record since 2009-10, when he played for Aston Villa. This win leaves Kiryat Shmona with 39 points, first in the play-off 2, a situation that leaves them end the season with calmness.
