In the first round of the Europa League group stage, Israeli club Hapoel Be'er Sheva drew 0-0 with Croatia's Dynamo Zagreb. The two teams previously met in the 2018 Champions League qualifiers, where Dynamo Zagreb advanced after a 5-0 and 2-2 aggregate score.

Despite their advantage, Hapoel Be'er Sheva struggled to convert their chances. In the first half, they had two notable opportunities. One shot from distance hit the post, and another effort was saved by Dynamo goalkeeper Dominik Livaković, who is on loan from Copenhagen. In the 73rd minute, a defensive error by Dynamo offered a chance to Hapoel's Gana, but a defender, Mišić, managed to clear the ball.
Dynamo Zagreb maintained a tight defense throughout the match, limiting Hapoel's scoring opportunities.
