To add insult to injury, Luka Gadrani was sent off at the start of the second half to put Almog Cohen\u2019s charges further up against the wall as the 1-0 halftime lead became 3-0 by the end of the evening, one that the Beitar faithful will want to forget and forget quickly.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_189898\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-189898\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7573.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-189898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7573.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7573-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7573-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7573-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7573-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-189898\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Luka Gadrani &#8211; Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nBeitar were beaten to every ball, had few opportunities that could be counted on one hand and Elyaniv Barda proved once again why he is a top flight head coach. But it wasn\u2019t just how Hapoel played and took full advantage of the extra man in the second half, it was how disinterested the Beitar players were. They looked slow, lackadaisical and just simply nowhere to be found after Cohen had said that everyone would see the real Beitar after Maccabi Netanya had dismantled them on Saturday night. <\/p>\n<p>It was a demolition derby to the utmost as the yellow-and-black supporters kept losing their patience and made their feelings known. Many didn\u2019t stay until the bitter end and who could blame them as there was absolutely no chance for Beitar to come back. After two games Beitar has two losses which is half of the amount of total losses from last season when they only had four under Barak Itzhaki. That\u2019s a very difficult pill to swallow for the faithful.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_189892\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-189892\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7595.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-189892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7595.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7595-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7595-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7595-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7595-610x610.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7595-1080x1080.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7595-440x440.jpeg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-189892\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThe pressure packed situation was so hard to diffuse after not only losing a pair of matches to start the new campaign, it was that Beitar looked nothing like the team that played under Itzhaki last season and played so poorly with what appeared to be a massive lack of passion that the natives were getting restless and when that happens, well, things can get out of hand very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>When times are good the supporters, who have purchased over 20,000 season tickets which is an all time record for the club, back the team day and night, from the south to the north ns will Accor the fact that sometimes the squad will come up short. But when the effort isn\u2019t there which was the case in the first game, then the fans have the potential of making like very, very difficult for the players, staff and management. They will demand change, they will demand passion, they will demand results which is what Cohen had said is what he cares about the most prior to the Rosh Hashana toast.

Abramov threw his support behind Cohen after having called him the best head coach in the country at the New Year\u2019s Toast and made it clear that he is going to go through fire and brimstone with him and that there is not going to be any panic moves. <\/p>\n<p>That may be very true and that may be what Abramov truly believes and wants to convey to the general public.

Every time this is brought up, Abramov has made sure to remind everyone that Beitar didn\u2019t wait until the season began to sign new players but did so in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>The staff and management are also making sure that their European campaign, which saw them get past Larnaca and then fall to Austria Wein, is remembered to have been one of the club\u2019s best since they lost in the Champions League qualifiers to FC Copenhagen.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_189925\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-189925\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7641.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-189925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7641.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7641-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7641-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7641-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7641-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-189925\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThe problem with the reminders is that the fans are not interested in hearing any of it.
