Hapoel Be'er Sheva Wins 2-1 Away, Nears Historic Champions League Qualification
Hapoel Be'er Sheva secured a 2-1 victory against Azerbaijani club Sabah in the first leg of the Champions League playoff round, bringing them just 90 minutes away from a historic qualification. The match took place in Bucharest due to UEFA restrictions on hosting games in Israel. Despite conceding an early goal in the 6th minute by Veljko Simić, Be'er Sheva dominated the game and turned the score around with goals from Jebavon East in the 43rd minute and Igor Zlatanović in the 79th. This win puts the Negev-based team in a strong position ahead of the second leg, edging closer to their first-ever entry into the Champions League group stage.
