A lot of nerves in Hapoel Beer Sheva after the loss yesterday (Wednesday) in the final of the Toto Cup against Maccabi Netanya (5:4 after a penalty shootout), but apart from losing the title, the club was mainly busy with the match referee Eitan Shmoelevich.
The latter removed two players, Helder Lopez and Shafi Suleimanov, but according to the Southerners, the judging was not uniform.
"If Shafi received a red card, then Kartsev got it too," they said in Be'er Sheva and added: "Shafi said that in the game he grabbed and Shmuelevich ignored him, until in the end he returned it and was sent off. There are no complaints against Adom, but the correct conduct of the referee would have prevented him."

Regarding the red card issued to Helder Lopez, it was defined in Beer Sheva as "an invention that did not exist and was not created".
The Portuguese was very nervous at the end and tried to go back towards the judging team, but the professional team members on the bench prevented him from doing so.
Now, Beer Sheva will have to manage without Lopez and Shafi in the upcoming match on Sunday in the league against the same opponent.
Therefore, the coach Eliniv Berda hopes that Ramsey Spuri and Mariano Barreiro, who have returned from injuries, will be fit for the game.
As for Spurry, there is optimism that he will be fit, while Breiro will have his knee checked to make sure there is no swelling, before a decision is made about him.
