As in the previous meeting between the two in the State Cup, somewhere in 1983, tonight (Wednesday) Hapoel Beer Sheva beat Hapoel Petah Tikva 0:1 away. The team from the capital of the Negev qualified for the semi-finals and will return to the standings after a one-year absence, while the Malaves failed to advance to the last four for the first time since 2002.
Eliniv Barda and his team achieved a fifth win in six games in all competitions, preserving their best chance of ending the season with a title. On the other hand, Benny Lem and his players will concentrate their efforts in the struggle for survival in the league, where they are 6 points below the red line and extremely complicated.
Helder Lopes signed the goal that gave Hapoel Be’er Sheva the ticket to the next stage, which he scored right before the break with a penalty kick from 11 meters after extorting a foul from Idan Vared himself, and forgot the weak ability that the Reds displayed in the first half. Beer Sheva’s second half didn’t leave a particularly convincing impression either, and near the end Ofir Marciano saved the visitors from a dramatic equalizer. Against a team with such a negative momentum like Hapoel Petah Tikva, it was enough to qualify.
Return to the semi-finals after a year of absence. Hapoel Beer Sheva | Danny Maron

Vared knocked down Lopes in the Blues’ box, Odeh missed but the screen judges called him to review the move

Following on from the previous move, Ganach took control outside the box and also kicked into the frame, but Katz prevented the second one this time as well
Eliniv Breda with first change: Hatuel replaced Shoshnachev
Another rescue from the goal line for Beer Sheva! Komson’s operation on the wing gave Idan Vared a chance in the heart of the box, but Maximo Levy kept the midfielder’s kick away on its way to the frame
