Match Report

Hapoel Beer Sheva secured a 2–0 victory over Vikingur Reykjavik in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, though the first half offered little to separate the sides, ending goalless despite both teams making early substitutions through injury or tactical adjustments.

The match opened up significantly after the break, with a flurry of yellow cards setting a feisty tone. Vikingur's Daniel Hafsteinsson was among those booked, and the Icelandic side's discipline was tested throughout the second half. Hapoel broke the deadlock on 65 minutes with a composed finish, and a further goal on 80 minutes put the tie beyond doubt. A Vikingur effort was subsequently ruled out for offside by VAR, underlining the hosts' control of the contest.

The result sees Hapoel Beer Sheva advance in the competition, having managed the game effectively once they found their opening. Our pre-match AI model had rated a Hapoel win as the most likely outcome at 49%, a call that proved correct as the Israeli side's greater experience at this level ultimately told.
