Hapoel Be'er Sheva secured a decisive 5-2 victory over Maccabi Petah Tikva on Sunday, reclaiming the top spot in the league standings. This win marks their second consecutive game scoring five goals and extends their perfect away record for the season.
The match, described as topsy-turvy and filled with goals and lead changes, saw Maccabi Petah Tikva initially take a 2-1 lead by halftime, thanks to a stunning long-range goal from former Be'er Sheva player Niv Yehoshua. Petah Tikva, the only team to have scored and conceded in every one of the first eight rounds, had their previous wins all by a 2-1 scoreline.
However, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, demonstrating resilience that has characterized many league teams' encounters with them, staged a dramatic comeback in the second half. Following a quadruple substitution early in the second half, Be'er Sheva dominated the field.
Their resurgence began with Yagor Zlatanovich converting a penalty in the 65th minute, his third consecutive game with a goal. Yehoshua then scored again six minutes later to complete the comeback. Zahi Ahmed added another goal in the 85th minute, and Ogris sealed the emphatic 5-2 win just four minutes later, capping off Be'er Sheva's dominant second-half performance.
