Anthony Nwakaeme came off the bench to score for Hapoel Be’er Sheva in Thursday’s Europa League match against Plzen, but the Ligat HA’al side were defeated 3-1 on the night.
Nwakaeme, 28, who has earned a second call up to the Nigeria national team was introduced in the 62nd minute with his team trailing 1-0.
His goal, a brilliant reverse-wheel, snap shot after a poor first touch inside the box leveled the scoreline at 1-1.
However, the visitors never had a grip on the game and soon went behind in the 76th minute and conceded a third on 89 minutes.
With the defeat, Hapoel Be’er Sheva are currently on three points from two matches and sit third in group G.
