Tiberias Football Club Laments Frustrating Loss to Hapoel Beersheba

Hapoel Ironi Tiberias concluded a frustrating 2-0 loss to league champions Hapoel Beersheba on Saturday, remaining at the bottom of the table despite a spirited performance. Club officials described the defeat as "robbery," expressing disappointment with the outcome despite the team's strong showing. "Our players put on a tremendous game, they were above and beyond," stated club representatives. "We created five clear scoring chances, including one-on-one situations with the goalkeeper, and with a lot of luck, Beersheba didn't concede."

Tiberias is set to face another top-tier opponent, Hapoel Tel Aviv, next Saturday at Bloomfield Stadium, where they hope to surprise. The team welcomed back players Niv Gottlieb and David Kaltins, who had been suspended for three months. Both started the match, with Kaltins playing the full 90 minutes and receiving praise.

The club is also looking to integrate foreign defender Sambinha into the lineup once his budget clearance is finalized, which is expected this week. Injured players Kais Ghanem and Chris Kouakou are anticipated to return to full training on Tuesday, with the goal of having them available for the upcoming match against Hapoel Tel Aviv.

"We proved we can look good against any opponent," the club added, crediting coaches Alon Ziv and Moti Krispil for preparing the team effectively. "We will approach the coming matches with the same attitude, and things will get better."
