Hapoel Be'er Sheva Suffers Humiliating 4-0 Loss in Europa League — Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva experienced a deeply disappointing evening in the Europa League, suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat against Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise. The match took place in Dusseldorf, Germany, behind closed doors. The Israeli champions are still searching for their first victory in the competition.

Despite a promising start where Hapoel Be'er Sheva had a double chance in the third minute through Javon East and Igor Zlatanovic, both were denied by goalkeeper Herve Koffi.

The second half turned into a nightmare for the Israeli side. In the 60th minute, Itai Rotman deflected Guilherme Smith's shot into his own net, doubling Saint-Gilloise's lead. Hapoel Be'er Sheva struggled to recover, and in the 77th minute, Dylan Akino capitalized on a significant error by goalkeeper Ofir Marciano to make it 3-0.

Four minutes later, Smith completed the rout with a strike from outside the box, following another slow reaction from the Israeli goalkeeper. This loss leaves Hapoel Be'er Sheva with only one point from three matches, while Union Saint-Gilloise moved up to seven points. Coach Ran Kochav must now rally his players for a crucial league encounter against Maccabi Haifa on Monday, where an improved performance will be needed to maintain their league momentum.
