Hapoel Raanana Women Dominate in 4-0 Victory Over Maccabi Hadera Women

Hapoel Raanana Women produced a commanding performance in the Israel Women's First National League on 20 May 2026, thrashing Maccabi Hadera Women 4-0 at home. The result keeps Raanana firmly in the title conversation as the season approaches its decisive stages.

From the opening whistle, the home side took control of the midfield and pressed high against a Maccabi Hadera defense that struggled to cope with the pace and movement of Raanana's attackers. The first goal arrived in the 18th minute when a precise through ball split the defense and was finished coolly by the team's top scorer. Raanana doubled their lead before half-time with a well-worked set piece, heading home from a corner kick.

The second half followed a similar pattern. Raanana continued to dominate possession and created numerous chances. A third goal came just after the hour mark from a fast counter-attack, and the fourth was added late on when a substitute fired in from the edge of the box. Maccabi Hadera had few clear opportunities, managing only two shots on target across the full 90 minutes. The clean sheet was a welcome boost for Raanana's defensive record.

The win strengthens Hapoel Raanana's position near the top of the standings, while Maccabi Hadera remain in the lower half and will need to improve their away form to climb the table.
