Hapoel Beer Sheva and Beitar Jerusalem played to an entertaining 1-1 draw as Kings Kangwa found the back of the goal in the 13th minute while Omer Atzily drew the hosts even twenty minutes later by nodding the ball into the goal as the sides split the points at Teddy Stadium.

Beitar Head Coach Barak Yitzhaki looked back at the game that was, “This was a disappointing draw, a shame, even though I think in the first quarter of an hour we weren’t in the game, we didn’t begin well, but we gained confidence and started moving the ball. That’s why I went with a more technical midfield trio, I didn’t want to fall into same trap as we did in the previous game against Beer Sheva and I wanted them to run after us and not us after them.”

Ben Binyamin, who stood on the sidelines in place of Ran Kozuk who had been handed a touch line ban said, “I’m very proud of the players in what was a very difficult game. We started decently and there were a few things we tried to fix up during the half that we didn’t do as well but unfortunately it just didn’t work. All in all a draw at Teddy is fine.”
