While the game ended in a 2-2 draw, the match had many ups and downs, creating excitement galore for fans of Hapoel Beersheba and Beitar Jerusalem.

Hapoel Tel Aviv advances to the Euroleague quarterfinals despite a tough loss to Monaco, while Maccabi Tel Aviv now shifts focus to the Israeli league. Hapoel Jerusalem returns to action with a win.

The Israeli Classico, one of the biggest matches that the Holy Land can offer between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa, is always an anticipated clash.

As EuroCup champs, Hapoel was given a one-year temporary license, so to speak, to the Euroleague, and anything after that was not guaranteed unless the Reds advanced to the playoffs.

Hapoel coach Ziv Arie lamented the slow start but noted his side created chances, while goalkeeper Nadav Zamir admitted the early goal made the match difficult.
