Hapoel Be'er Sheva Held to Draw in Europa League Opener
Hapoel Be'er Sheva began their Europa League campaign with a disappointing 0-0 draw against Dinamo Zagreb in Bucharest on Wednesday evening. Despite being considered the underdog against the Croatian champions, the Israeli side dominated large portions of the match and created numerous scoring opportunities.
The team, managed by Ran Kochva, showed superiority over their more decorated opponents, particularly in the early stages of the game. However, a lack of clinical finishing prevented them from capitalizing on their advantage, leaving them with a single point from their opening fixture.
The draw, which felt like a missed opportunity for Be'er Sheva, leaves them searching for their first win in the competition. The team will now turn their attention to domestic play, facing Hapoel Kiryat Shmona on Saturday, before a challenging away fixture against AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands after the international break.
