Hapoel Be'er Sheva players and staff are convinced they were wronged by the referees in their 5-2 victory over Maccabi Petah Tikva on Sunday, despite the impressive scoreline. The club is protesting two specific goals: the second goal scored by Maccabi Petah Tikva, which they claim originated from a clear handball, and a goal scored by Hapoel Be'er Sheva that was disallowed after VAR review. Club officials expressed their frustration, stating, "The second goal of Maccabi Petah Tikva was scored from a clear handball during the play. It is unclear how it was not disallowed. It cannot be that this goal was approved while the goal we scored and was disallowed was for a positional struggle inside the box by Diop. One goal was wrongly approved and a second goal was wrongly disallowed, and the fact that we won and scored five goals in the end does not mean we should forget this."
Hapoel Be'er Sheva is scheduled to play against Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday at 10:00 PM.
