Kangwa’s side led 1-0 at the half-time break

Kangwa’s side went into the half-time break with a 1-0 lead but the scoreline should have been bigger had they used the chances created. At the start of the second period, Kangwa once again hit the crossbar from a corner.

But Kangwa finally found the target in the 65th minute. A dangerous cross from Ofir Davidzada found Kangwa, who hit the back of the net. Kangwa has so far scored six goals and provided two assists for his club, who are top of the Israeli Premier League.

Amir Chaim Ganah found the back of the net for Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the 80th minute but his effort was ruled out for offside. Emmanuel Banda another Zambia midfielder played the full ninety minutes for the losing side.

The win enabled Hapoel Be’er Sheva to reach 48 points from 21 matches. They have won 15 matches, drawn three, and lost three.
