If Miguel Vitor's opener was unexpected, Maor Bar Buzaglo's deft free-kick was inconceivable, as visitor Hapoel Be'er Sheva took a two-goal lead over Inter Milan in Thursday's Europa League group stage opener.
A shocked San Siro fell silent as the 28-year-old midfielder bested a flat-footed Samir Handanovic with the curler, handing the defending Israeli Premier League champ a stunning 2-0 lead.
Be'er Sheva took the spoils by that scoreline to share top spot in Group K with Southampton, who topped Sparta Prague 3-0 courtesy of a Charlie Austin brace.
