Hapoel Be'er Sheva was already making final preparations for the game, while Alon Turgeman rushed to stay by his wife's side in the delivery room, and when the miracle happened, the striker returned north and arrived for the game.
Turgeman started on the bench, while meanwhile his team struggled to develop its usual game on the muddy surface at the Doha Stadium.
As time passed it seemed that Eliniv Barda's team was sinking in the mud, literally.
Mariano Barreiro was red-carded just before the break, but Umanga equalized with a second-half red card of his own.
At this point the coach went to his bench and started Alon Turgeman from there.

Apparently the blessing went up to the field with him.
In the 87th minute, he was fouled in the box and the penalty was scored by Helder Lopez.
In extra time, Turgeman was in the right place to make it 2-0 and give Hapoel BS their tenth win in a row. It's a victory that puts the Southerners strong in the championship fight, because winning in Doha in such conditions shows a lot of character and not just ability. On the other hand, Sakhnin did not She has won at home since September and even the court conditions, which were in her favor, were not enough for her to leave at least with a point.
