Hapoel Beer Sheva overturned an early deficit to claim a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Sabah FA in their UEFA Champions League fixture. The visitors made a dream start under head coach Valdas Dambrauskas, deploying a 4-2-3-1 formation that yielded an opening goal in just the sixth minute when V. Simic found the back of the net.
Ran Kozuch's Hapoel Beer Sheva side gradually settled into their 4-3-3 shape and created opportunities before finding the equalizer just ahead of the interval. J. East struck in the 43rd minute to restore parity, sending the two teams into the half-time break locked at 1-1.
The second half brought tactical adjustments from both benches, along with a burst of tension handled by Italian referee Davide Massa.

Zlatanovic produced the winning goal to put the hosts ahead 2-1.
