Hamoadi Knaan Ends 18-Month Scoring and Assisting Drought for Hapoel Be'er Sheva
Hapoel Be'er Sheva player Hamoadi Knaan broke an 18-month streak without both a goal and an assist in a single match during his team's 2-0 victory over Hapoel Petah Tikva on Sunday. Knaan, who came off the bench, contributed significantly by scoring one goal and providing an assist.
This marks Knaan's first assist for Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Israeli Premier League since February 2025. Last season, he scored five goals across all competitions. The match against Hapoel Petah Tikva was the first time Knaan has achieved both a goal and an assist in the same game since February 2025, a span of 18 months.
Knaan, described as a talented attacking player, had previously started the season's opening league match, a 2-1 win against Hapoel Ramat Gan, following the team's elimination from European competition. However, for the game against Hapoel Petah Tikva, he began on the bench, a decision influenced by rotation, player injuries, and an upcoming match on Wednesday against Dinamo Zagreb.
