At the end of the interval, it was FC Viktoria Plzeň 1- 0 Hapoel Beer Sheva. Hapoel Beer Sheva who won their first game against Lugano 2-1 came out a different team in the second half and they got their equalizer in the 69th minute through Anthony Nwakaeme.

Anthony Nwakaeme scored his goal 7 minutes after coming in for former Chelsea player Ben Saher, the Nigerian controlled a pass from Elo in front of a defender before powering in from the box.

Unfortunately for the visitors, their joy was cut short 7 minutes after Nwakaeme’s goal as Kopic who provided the hosts’ first goal put his name on the scorers’ chat and Nwakaeme and co were dealt further blow when Bakos scored the third goal three minutes after coming on to seal the win for Viktorka.
