Hapoel Be’er Sheva ended the calender year in first position in the Israeli Premier League following their 2 - 0 win over Hapoel Ra’anana on Monday night.

Anthony Nwakaeme all but secured the three points for Hapoel Be’er Sheva when he netted four minutes from time to put The Camels 2 - 0 up.

As previously reported, Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu missed his first game in the league this term after he was given permission by Hapoel Be’er Sheva chiefs to travel to his homeland to consummate his marriage to his fiancee.

Nwakaeme was on the books of Hapoel Ra’anana for two seasons before penning a deal with Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the summer transfer market.

The 26 - year - old  found the net against Maccabi Petah Tikva, Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Tel Aviv in October.
