H Be'er Sheva produced a disciplined and composed performance to defeat Crvena Zvezda 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League, with a clean sheet sealing their progression to the next stage of the competition. The Israeli club arrived in Belgrade knowing what was required, and they delivered, silencing the notoriously passionate Marakana crowd with an efficient display on both sides of the ball.

The defensive effort from Be'er Sheva was the defining narrative of the evening. Crvena Zvezda, a club with a fierce European pedigree and a home support capable of generating enormous pressure, were kept scoreless throughout ninety minutes. The Israeli backline held firm, denying Red Star's attackers any meaningful route to goal and frustrating the hosts at every turn.
Going forward, Be'er Sheva were clinical where Zvezda were blunt. Two goals — enough to comfortably close the game out — were taken with the composure of a side that understood the magnitude of the occasion. Each finish reflected a team with a clear structure and the confidence to execute it under pressure on foreign soil.
For Crvena Zvezda, the evening represented a painful exit. The home crowd had roared their side forward in hopes of a European run, but the Serbians could not break down the visitors' organised defensive block. A failure to convert in front of goal ultimately cost them, as their campaign ends here without a reply on the scoresheet.
H Be'er Sheva's clean sheet is the story of the tie. Conceding nothing across the contest — whether in open play, set pieces, or the final desperate stages — underlines the collective defensive resolve that powered this result. They advance, and they do so having earned it with one of Israeli football's more notable results on the continental stage.
