Hapoel Be'er Sheva experienced a crushing 4-0 defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise in their Europa League campaign on Thursday, failing to secure their first win of the season. The Belgian team scored through Raul Floruch (penalty in the 45th minute), an own goal by Rotman (61st minute), Aquino (77th minute), and Guilherme (81st minute). The match was held in Dusseldorf, Germany, with empty stands due to security concerns.
Be'er Sheva's coach, Ran Kozuch, expressed his disappointment, stating, "This is a very disappointing result." He acknowledged that his team played better in the first half but couldn't capitalize on their chances, going into halftime trailing. "In the second half, we fell apart. We were dragged into their tempo, and the players who came off the bench didn't add the necessary intensity," Kozuch added. He admitted the team faces many challenges but stressed that these are not excuses, and they need to perform better.
Goalkeeper Ofir Marciano echoed the sentiment, calling it a "bad result." He noted that the team did many things well in the first half and is facing tough opponents this season. "We need to find solutions," Marciano said, adding that while they improved from their previous match against Alkmaar, they must learn from this loss. He emphasized the need for greater aggression, stating, "It shouldn't have looked like it did in the second half; we needed to be more aggressive. We will need to fix it."
