Bnei Sakhnin defeated Kiryat Shmona 1-0 on Saturday, marking their second consecutive victory for the first time this season. The team, coached by Yossi Abukasis, has accumulated ten points in their last four matches, maintaining a clean sheet for the second game in a row. This recent success has propelled them to sixth place in the league standings.
Sakhnin's defense has been notably strong, conceding only six goals so far, the second-best record in the league behind Hapoel Tel Aviv, which has let in five. Although Kiryat Shmona had few scoring opportunities, goalkeeper Raul Bravo was alert and ready for any threats.
Sana Gomes scored his first goal in Israel, dedicating it to his pregnant wife. Gomes, who faced criticism earlier in the season, delivered a strong performance. Another standout player was Ahmed Salman, who was instrumental in Sakhnin's only goal, created a prime scoring chance for Matthew Kodjo, and narrowly missed scoring himself.
Following the match, Abukasis, the management, and the players celebrated together. "They already relegated us," they remarked, referring to early doubts about the team. "We are a new team that needed time to gel. We have patience."
