Hapoel Be'er Sheva's Goal Disallowed for Marginal Offside in Season Opener
In their first match of the new Israeli Premier League season, Hapoel Be'er Sheva had a goal disallowed due to an offside call. Itay Rotman scored for Be'er Sheva against Hapoel Ramat Gan, but referee Aviad Shiloach ruled the goal out, a decision upheld after a VAR review. The video assistant referee system confirmed the offside call, though the footage showed the offside margin was extremely narrow, raising questions about the correctness of the decision. Despite the controversy, the ruling stood, and Be'er Sheva continues to seek their first win of the season. The incident highlights the fine margins involved in VAR decisions in Israeli football.
