Following the match, Hapoel Tel Aviv coach Eliniv Barda described the game as tactically high-level and largely even. He noted that Hapoel Be'er Sheva gained momentum in the second half after changing their formation, but his team adapted and the game became balanced again. Barda expressed satisfaction with the win, attributing it to a goal scored on the counter-attack.
Barda emphasized the need for his team to maintain their approach against both strong and weaker opponents. While acknowledging the excitement of winning crucial season games, he reminded that each match yields only three points. "I always aim to be as high as possible, no matter where I am. I wish we could run for the championship, but we are in Round 10 and it's best not to get confused," Barda stated, tempering expectations despite the team's current league position.
