Bnei Sakhnin achieved their first victory of the season, defeating Hapoel Ramat Gan 1-0 on Saturday at home in Doha Stadium. While the performance was not spectacular, the team managed to keep a clean sheet for the second time, demonstrating a commitment to defensive effort.
Club officials expressed satisfaction with the win, stating, "It's time we started winning. It took us time to assemble and connect the squad, but now there are no excuses. We need to start getting results first, and then improve our play." The team acknowledges that their offensive capabilities are not yet convincing but hopes for improvement, potentially aided by the upcoming break.
During the international break, the club aims to integrate new players further. Dutch defender Leroy Owusu made a successful debut, scoring the winning goal in the 68th minute. Ahmed Salman also impressed in his first start as a left winger, a position he's playing due to squad limitations that previously forced him to play right-back.
However, the team is concerned about a knee injury sustained by captain Marouane Gantoos, a key player. They hope the injury is not serious. Sakhnin will resume league play after the break on October 10th, facing Maccabi Tel Aviv at Bloomfield Stadium.
