Hapoel Be'er Sheva experienced significant disappointment following their 4-0 loss to Belgian side Union SG in the Europa League. The team, managed by Ran Kochman, was outplayed in all aspects during the second half, a performance described by players as unacceptable and something that "cannot happen again." Despite creating several good chances in the first half and trailing by only one goal, the team's intensity, aggression, and determination faltered dramatically after halftime. Players expressed that the team "looked like they gave up on the game." Substitutions made by the coach failed to alter the outcome, with all players, including those brought on as replacements, performing poorly. Goalkeeper Ofir Marciano was noted for making several saves that prevented an even larger deficit. The club acknowledged that the scoreline could have been worse, indicating a lapse in awareness of the competition's stakes. In related news, Guy Mazarhi and Rotman are being evaluated for muscle cramps, while Lucas Ventura remained in Israel. The team's performance has drawn criticism, with players stating they "need to know how to lose" but also that the second half was "worse than bad."
