Summary: Maccabi Netanya - Hapoel Be'er Sheva 1:1 (Sport1)
Out of nowhere yesterday (Sunday) Hapoel Beer Sheva got another, probably last, chance to fight for the championship.
After the loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv a week ago, the club raised their hands.
They even said that they would like to finish in second place and not let Maccabi Tel Aviv pass them.
No one dreamed of the first place anymore.
But then came the unexpected loss of Maccabi Haifa yesterday and everything opened up.
But the Hapoel Be'er Sheva is already quite finished from this season.
Even if Eliniv Barda still tried to spur and veteran players like Itay Schechter and Roy Gordana tried to pick themselves up and their teammates, it was probably an impossible task yesterday in Netanya, what's more Eyal Segal's team knew how to cope excellently this season against Hapoel Beer Sheva and for a moment they don't feel at a disadvantage against them .
Even Shagib Yehezkel's quick goal, after a great exercise from a corner, which could have pushed Hapoel Beer Sheva to victory and which would have reduced the gap from Maccabi Haifa to only five points this morning, did not help.
In the end, the draw even did a favor to Alona Barkat's team.
There are those who will consider this season a failure because Hapoel Beer Sheva had opportunities to close the gap and go for the championship to the end, but in the eyes of many others, it was a good season.
A season of fighting for the championship, a season of the Conference League, a season in which Hapoel Beer Sheva recorded the best away record and even if it did not have Omer Azili or Eran Zahavi as executors, it did not fall in the number of conquests from the richer Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv who enjoy the number of subscribers double
Don't call it a failure.

Also yesterday, Hapoel Beer Sheva suffered from the absence of Miguel Vitor.
Shay Elias is also missing, as is Ayad Abu Abid, but Vitor is a different opera.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva with him is a different team and without him it is a different team and last night without him it again looked for many minutes disorganized, undisciplined and above all unwinner.
Even against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the last two losses, Eliniv did not have Vitor on the field.
He did come up to play, but he came up injured and was replaced in both games and could not make an impact.
Vitor should continue next season as well, but he will be older and it is doubtful if he can still give a full quality season.
Since it is most likely that Hatem Abdelhamid will not return, even though he has a contract, the team will have to look for a foreign brakeman whom Vitor will mentor so that in the future he will also replace him.
Roy Gordana, who ends his contract, will be awarded a new contract.
A decision regarding Shafi Sulaimanov has not yet been made since his ticket needs to be purchased for 800,000 euros and he has not given stability in recent months that would push Alona Barkat to pay Krasnodar for exercising the option on him.
One way or another, Hapoel Be'er Sheva will not go through a coup in the summer and many of the players of the current squad will continue.
Will get a new contract.

Breda still believes that he will get another Patrick Kalimela next season and of course he will bring in more foreign attacking players.
"I will push the players to the limit until our last practice," Barda said last night at the press conference at the end of the game.
"There are five games left and I want everyone to show me that they belong in our club next season."
Itai Schechter, who was sitting next to him, repeated what he said to the television at the end of the game, but was even sharper when he sent a message: "The club might not like it, but we were missing a player who breaks ties. Such a Tony Wakame, who knows how to take the team on board in the critical moments and lead her to fight for the championship until the end."
