Beersheba Takes Lead with Brilliant Goal by Zlatanovic Assisted by Yehoshua
On August 25, 2026, during a crucial Champions League qualifying match, Hapoel Beersheba secured a 3-1 aggregate lead over Sabah FK. The decisive goal came after a high-pressure play by Niv Yehoshua, who intercepted the ball deep inside Sabah's penalty area. Yehoshua's quick action caught Sabah's defense off guard, forcing goalkeeper Stas Pokatilov out of position. Igor Zlatanovic then capitalized on the opportunity, scoring from close range to extend Beersheba's advantage. Although Zlatanovic officially scored, the goal was set up entirely by Yehoshua's aggressive run and ball control. The goal highlighted Beersheba's effective high pressing strategy and brought them closer to advancing in the Champions League qualifiers.
