Maccabi Tel Aviv Dominates Hapoel Be'er Sheva 4-1

Maccabi Tel Aviv secured a decisive 4-1 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Monday, extending their perfect start to the season with a third consecutive league win. The dominant performance, which saw Maccabi Tel Aviv maintain control throughout, featured an early goal from Eran Zahavi within the first minute, followed by a brace from Oscar Gloukh and a late goal from Dor Peretz. Hapoel Be'er Sheva managed a consolation goal from Amir Ganah just before halftime, but their efforts were hampered by the red card dismissal of Eliel Peretz, leaving them with ten players.

Maccabi Tel Aviv showcased an exceptional pressing game, effectively disrupting Hapoel Be'er Sheva's rhythm. New signings Gabi Kaniukovsky and James Tavernier made significant contributions, with Kaniukovsky particularly impressing in midfield. Despite missing a penalty, Maccabi Tel Aviv remained composed and secured a comfortable win.

For Hapoel Be'er Sheva, the loss marks their first defeat of the season and a disappointing performance at home.

The match also saw an early injury to Lucas Ventura for Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

The victory sets Maccabi Tel Aviv up strongly for their upcoming derby match against Maccabi Haifa.
