After a slow start to the season by last year's runners-up, Jerusalem roared back to life following their recent return to form with an impressive 6-1 demolition in Modi'in.

Debutant from Chile Javier Mendez’s first touch in the JC Olim League could not have been better. A pin-point pass found Eli Warner on the edge of the box and the former North West Neasden striker composed himself to slot home into the bottom corner.

However, despite this electric start, it was Modi'in who would control the next 30 minutes. Despite being roared on by the Lazarus (Aron and Jamie) boys from the touchline, and dominating the play in the middle of the park, Modi'in failed to get a single shot on the Jerusalem goal.

In a rare Jerusalem attack during this opening period, Yankie Tajtelbaum in the Modi'in goal pulled a calf muscle coming out to collect a simple ball. After a couple of minutes of stoppage, Daniel Hyman took over in goal.
