Be’er Sheva have only won two of their last six away games in all competitions, with one of those fixtures being a 5-2 defeat against Celtic in the Champions League qualifying games. The Israeli club are winless in their last five European contests, drawing two and losing three. Inter will see tonight as a big chance to gain some early ground in Group K.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Inter’s first Europa League game of the season, as Frank de Boer’s men host Hapoel Be’er Sheva at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The Serie A club have done plenty of business during the summer, but have thus far had a mixed bag of results and performances domestically.
HALF-TIME! Both teams go in goalless at the break, with Hapoel giving a good account of themselves in this first half. Maranhao has had two great chances for the visitors, with Eder going closest for Inter by hitting the post. All to play for in Milan!
FULL-TIME! Hapoel win famously, courtesy of a 2-0 scoreline against Inter, with goals from Vitor and Buzaglo wrapping up a very surprising away win in the Europa League. Barak's men looked comfortable throughout, with De Boer looking like a man who is low on ideas. That's all that we have time for, we hope to see you again next time.
