Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva's poor season continued as they collapsed within 20 minutes, suffering a 0-4 defeat in their third Europa League match. The Israeli champions played at a neutral venue in Dusseldorf, Germany, without their fans, after both Alkmaar in the Netherlands and Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium refused to host them due to their Israeli nationality. Be'er Sheva had chances to score early, missing golden opportunities in the third minute. The Belgian team, which previously featured Israeli national player Anan Khalaily, took the lead just before halftime with a penalty kick. Hapoel Be'er Sheva hoped to equalize quickly at the start of the second half but missed another chance, which proved costly. Union Saint-Gilloise scored three more goals between the 61st and 81st minutes, sealing the decisive 4-0 victory. The loss leaves Be'er Sheva with only one point after three games in the prestigious European competition, playing without fans, without scoring, and without convincing football.
