Key Moments

• 27th minute – Beer Sheva broke the deadlock. A long diagonal ball found the winger in space, and his low cross was turned in by the striker from six yards.

The visitors’ defensive organisation frustrated the home side, who failed to register a shot on target until the 75th minute.

Standout Players
