Hapoel Beer Sheva and Hapoel Haifa Draw 0-0 in League Opener
Hapoel Beer Sheva hosted Hapoel Haifa at Toto Turner Stadium in a rescheduled opening match of the Israeli Premier League season. The game was a makeup fixture because Hapoel Beer Sheva had participated in the Champions League playoffs, leading to their request to postpone the initial round.
Despite a strong start from Hapoel Beer Sheva in the 17th minute, where Javan East hit the crossbar, neither team managed to score. Hapoel Haifa had an earlier opportunity in the 8th minute from a free kick just outside the box, but Ariel Mendy's shot hit the wall.
New signing Adrian Ugrcic was presented to the approximately 13,000 fans before the match. Amit Ouhana was given a starting role in attack for Hapoel Beer Sheva, having scored the winning goal in a previous match against Hapoel Ramat Gan.
The match ended in a 0-0 draw, with both teams failing to find the back of the net.
