The UEFA Europa League league phase fixture between Hapoel Beer Sheva and Dinamo Zagreb, held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, ended in a 0-0 draw. The match took place at the Superbet Arena-Giulești in Bucharest, Romania, as Hapoel Beer Sheva is playing home matches there due to security concerns in Israel. Dinamo Zagreb manager Mario Kovačević expressed satisfaction with the result, noting that the team showed “necessary grit and defensive solidity” despite facing challenges with player illnesses. While the team struggled to create significant offensive opportunities, recording only one shot on target, the clean sheet was viewed as a realistic outcome. The draw earned Croatia 0.250 coefficient points and Dinamo 150,000 euros in UEFA prize money.
