Hapoel Haifa Rout Hapoel Be'er Sheva to Secure Fifth Place in Toto Cup

Hapoel Haifa decisively defeated Hapoel Be'er Sheva 4-0 in the final ranking match of the Toto Cup on August 15, 2026, securing fifth place and a prize of 350,000 shekels. The match took place at Sammy Ofer Stadium before approximately 1,300 spectators. Hapoel Haifa, coached by Haim Silvas, fielded a relatively strong lineup and dominated the game against a weakened Be'er Sheva squad that featured mostly youth players and only one foreign player, reflecting their focus on recovery rather than competition.

Liran Rotman scored twice, while Alon Turgeman and Shay Elias also found the net, with Elias marking his first start for the team. Coach Silvas rested key player Sabah for the upcoming league match against Saba on Wednesday. This victory marked Hapoel Haifa's fourth win in their first five games of the season, highlighting a strong start. Despite the limited competitive value of the match due to Be'er Sheva's lineup, Hapoel Haifa can take confidence from their performance as the season progresses.
