Hapoel Be’er Sheva tonight (Thursday) recorded an expensive 0:2 victory over Lugano away and took a big step towards the playoffs to advance to the group stage of the Conference League. The cup holder benefited from goals from Tomer Yousfi (39) and Estrit Salmani (85, debut goal) and is now a clear favorite to advance after the rematch at Turner next week.
Eliniv Breda brought up a lineup of three defenders and made two changes to the lineup compared to the 11 that started last week against Dinamo Minsk: Mariano Barreiro and Tomer Yosef at the expense of David Keltins and Dor Micha. On the field Beer Sheva was unable to create continuity in the front part, but took advantage of the good minutes to score. Two goals from three-four actual chances? Everyone is willing to sign such percentages.
On the other hand, the back of the Israeli team was quiet and safe, stable throughout the game and prevented Logano from getting into situations. The first half was balanced and the Swiss dominated the second, but their lack of quality helped Beer Sheva return home with an excellent result after they doubled their lead before the end. In light of the opponent’s weakness, the 0:2 advantage should be enough, especially in Turner.
In another match this evening, Zuria Luhansk of Patrick van Leeuwen and Raymond Etfeld won 0:1 over Universitat Craiova. The winner of this meeting will play against the winner between Beer Sheva and Lugano.
