Union’s four-goal surge overwhelms Hapoel

A commanding win turns Union St. Gilloise’s late first-half breakthrough into a statement in the Europa League league phase.

Opening Act: Pressure Before the Break

Union St. Gilloise made the opening phase a test of Hapoel Beer Sheva’s back line, and their eventual 4-0 win was built on pressure rather than possession. At Merkur Spielarena, Union edged possession, 51 per cent to 49, but attempted 27 shots to Hapoel’s six. The gap kept the visitors defending for long spells. Union put 14 efforts on target and produced 2.61 expected goals; Hapoel managed four on target and 0.65. Union kept feeding runners into the box and forcing hurried clearances. The Intensity came from a steady siege: Hapoel’s goalkeeper made ten saves, while Union’s keeper faced four. Raul Florucz’s penalty in first-half stoppage time finally broke the deadlock. It was a deserved lead, and a warning that the second half could become even more uncomfortable for Hapoel.

The Pivot: The Penalty Becomes a Platform

That penalty was the hinge, but Guilherme Smith’s finish on 60 minutes turned pressure into separation. Relebohile Mofokeng supplied the assist, rewarding Union’s willingness to attack the space behind Hapoel’s defensive line. Guilherme’s second arrived at 81, set up by Denzel De Roeve, and made the outcome unmistakable. With only 51 per cent of the ball, Union did not need to monopolise possession. They still pushed forward with purpose, recording 20 key passes and 180 passes into the final third. Hapoel’s 48 clearances underline the strain: one wave was repelled, then another followed. The Balance swung decisively after the break as Union’s threat became goals and the visitors’ resistance narrowed to emergency defending. Their forward movement was direct, but not rushed; the finishing matched the volume.

Resolution: A Rout Built from the Bench

Union’s substitutes added bite to the finish. Florucz, introduced in the 14th minute, converted the stoppage-time penalty; Dylan Aquino, on from the 30th, struck in the 77th, and De Roeve came on before setting up the fourth. Aquino’s finish and Guilherme’s late second made the closing spell ruthless. Hapoel still attempted six shots, but never found a way to match Union’s pressure. Coming into this third league-stage round, Union had four points from two matches, while Hapoel had one. The Stakes now feel sharper: Union have a platform in a 36-team league phase, while Hapoel must respond after a heavy setback. This was not a tight escape, but a statement built on waves of chances and decisive finishing.

Key Questions

L'Union St. Gilloise en quête de régularité européenne

Divertissement moyen Score Futmetrix: 45/100. Les cotes favorisent largement les locaux, promettant une mission ardue pour une équipe israélienne en difficulté qui tente de rester dans la course.

La situation

À Den Dreef, le 22 octobre 2026, le contraste est saisissant. L'Union St. Gilloise est confortablement installée à la 12e place avec quatre points, bien positionnée au-dessus de la zone des barrages du top 24. Sa solide note de Forme reflète un début de parcours invaincu, avec quatre buts marqués pour un seul encaissé en deux matchs. De son côté, l'Hapoël Beer-Sheva stagne à la 25e place avec un seul point. Un score d'Enjeu modeste indique que la phase de ligue est encore jeune, mais les visiteurs ont besoin d'un électrochoc pour éviter de décrocher. Le manque de Vedettes sur le terrain pourrait réduire l'attrait mondial, mais l'Équilibre penche nettement en faveur d'une formation belge en confiance.

Duel clé

La bataille dans le dernier tiers dictera le rythme. O. Kričfaluši, de l'Union, est une révélation, utilisant ses déplacements intelligents pour exploiter les failles des défenses adverses. Le défenseur vétéran de l'Hapoël, Miguel Vítor, aura la charge de le neutraliser. Si Vítor ne parvient pas à organiser sa défense pour absorber la pression et contenir les montées de Kričfaluši, les locaux trouveront les espaces pour s'envoler.

Notre pronostic

Attendez-vous à un match méthodique et à sens unique. L'Union St. Gilloise devrait dominer la possession du ballon et briser patiemment le bloc défensif adverse. Nous prévoyons une victoire facile 2-0 pour les locaux, les rapprochant du top 8 qualificatif tout en laissant Beer-Sheva les mains vides.
