Published: July 17, 2014
Hapoel Beer Sheva’s return to Europe for the first time in 17 years did not end with smiles after the Israeli vice - champions fell 1 - 2 to hosts Split in the first leg, second qualifying round of the Europa League on Thursday night.
And fingers are now being pointed to Super Eagles goalkeeper Austin Ejide for his error that led to the penalty which was converted by Mate Bilic four minutes before the final whistle.
The visitors took the lead with a spectacular goal from 25 meters in the 31st minute by Buzaglo before Tomislav Dujmovi� leveled the scoreline in the 78th minute.
The encounter appeared to be heading for a draw before that mistake by Austin Ejide, who fouled an opponent, and the referee, Ilias Spathas, pointed to the spot.
Because of recent events in Israel, the second leg will be staged in Athlítiko Kentro Zenon (Neo GSZ, Larnaca), Cyprus a week from today.
