Israeli Premier League club Bnei Sakhnin has had a disappointing start to its season and is hoping a break will help the team gel, especially with recent player acquisitions. Following a 2-2 draw in their first preparation match against Bnei Raina, the team coached by Yossi Abuksis played a weaker opponent, Hapoel Tirat Carmel from Liga Alef (the third tier), on Thursday, but again failed to secure a victory. Sakhnin drew 3-3 against the third-division team. They led 2-1 at halftime with goals from Ahmed Salman and Amit Karadi. Bassel Khoury scored a third goal in the second half, but it was not enough to win the match. The club is attempting to downplay concerns over the pre-season results, stating that the games are intended to help right-back Liroi Owusu regain fitness and to give playing time to players returning from injuries.
