Israeli Premier League club Bnei Sakhnin has drawn 3-3 against Hapoel Tirat Carmel, a team from the third-tier Liga Alef, in a preseason friendly match. The team, coached by Yossi Abuksis, is experiencing a disappointing start to the season and hopes the upcoming break will help new signings integrate and the team find better form. This follows another draw, 2-2, against Bnei Raina in their first preparation game.
During the match against Tirat Carmel, coached by Lidan Deloya, Sakhnin 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 secure a victory.
Despite the disappointing results in preparation games, club officials are attempting to downplay concerns. They state that the matches are primarily intended to help players like right-back Liroi Owusu regain fitness after injury and to give playing time to those returning from injuries.
