Kiryat Shmona's good streak remained as they visited Hapoel Haifa, one of the strongest teams in Israel. On the 19th Israel Premier League game week, at the Sammy Ofer Stadium, the Hapoel Ironi achieved a crucial win (0-2) that helps them reach play-off positions. Cuéllar, crucial in defensive play, contributed to Kiryat Shmona not conceeding in their second match in a row.

Goals came on the second half. Abed (55`) and Menachem, on stoppage time, were the scorers. Carlos played the whole match and leaded the defence of his team. After drawing against powerful Beitar and beating Hapoel Afula in the Cup, Hapoel Ironi enlarged their good streak.
This Tuesday against Hapoel Shfaram, Kiryat Shmona will try to qualify for the quarter finals on the Cup of Israel. A tournament that is crucial for Carlos and teammates.
