Brazilian footballer Gabriel Lima will travel to Israel to participate in a memorial match for his former strike partner, Lior Assulin, who was killed at the Nova music festival. The match, scheduled for Tuesday at the Doha Stadium, will pit the 2003/4 State Cup winners, Bnei Sakhnin, against a team of Assulin's friends. Assulin was a star player for Bnei Sakhnin during that championship season.
Bnei Sakhnin has arranged for Ernest Etchi, Camouco Camara, and Gabriel Lima, who played with Assulin that season, to fly to Israel for the event. Lima, who formed the "Assulima" attacking duo with Assulin, is coming to pay his final respects. The Bnei Sakhnin team will be coached by Eyal Lachman and will include former players such as Abbas Suan, Rafi Cohen, Avi Dano, Ahmed Kasoum, Abd Rabah, Ali Othman, Shadi Zbeidat, and Nidal Shla'ata.
The team of friends will be coached by Bnei Sakhnin's current coach, Yossi Abukasis, and will feature players who knew Assulin throughout his career. Notable participants include Yoav Ziv, former director of Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Kfir Edri, CEO of Beitar Jerusalem, along with Avi Ibgi, Guy Dayan, Eyal Tartetsky, and Yakir Sheina. Lior Assulin's brother, Moshe Assulin, will also play for the friends' team.
The match will be broadcast live on Sport 5 starting at 5:00 PM. The referees will be Aviad Shiloach, Orpaz Chen, and Eran Tsoler. Bnei Sakhnin hopes the stadium will be filled with fans and local residents to honor the former legend, who passed away over three years ago.
