I almost got confused in the dressing room at first. It was a very high-level tactical game from both teams, fairly evenly matched, with chances at both ends. In the second half, they had a spell of momentum after changing their formation. After a few minutes, we adjusted to it and the game became balanced again, with us creating opportunities on the counterattack. I\u2019m happy that one of those transitions also resulted in a goal.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_196041\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-196041\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/IMG_6290.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-196041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/IMG_6290.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/IMG_6290-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/IMG_6290-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/IMG_6290-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/IMG_6290-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-196041\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elyaniv Barda &#8211; Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nBeer Sheva Head Coach Ran Kozuk was disappointed with the result, especially after his side had created several opportunities throughout the contest, \u201cI\u2019m leaving this game disappointed. We also lost a few tackles in the build-up to the goal in the middle. Overall, we played a very good game and created several chances that should have ended up in the back of the net. It just wasn\u2019t our day. European matches are tough, and the travel is not easy, but that won\u2019t be an excuse.
