Match Report
Hapoel Beer Sheva edged past Sabah FA 2–1 in their UEFA Champions League play-off, despite spending much of the match on the back foot. Sabah dominated possession with 68% and attempted 15 shots to Beer Sheva's eight, yet it was the Israeli side who struck first through V. Simić in the sixth minute. The Azerbaijani visitors levelled before half-time when Javon East equalised on 43 minutes, sending the teams into the break level.
The decisive moment came in the 71st minute when East, who had been substituted off, watched from the sidelines as Igor Zlatanović put Beer Sheva back in front on 79 minutes. The goal proved to be the winner, with Zlatanović himself withdrawn just six minutes later. A pair of yellow cards — for Miguel Vítor and Itay Rotman — added tension in the closing stages, along with a booking for Amir Chaim Ganah, but Beer Sheva held firm.
Our pre-match AI model had rated a Beer Sheva win as the most likely outcome at 38%, a call that proved correct despite Sabah's statistical superiority throughout the contest.
