Defender Uri Dahan expressed his belief that he deserved more playing time at his former club, Beitar Jerusalem, after scoring a crucial 75th-minute equalizer for his current team, Bnei Sakhnin, in their 1-1 draw against Ironi Tiberias. Dahan joined Sakhnin from Beitar seeking more playing opportunities, stating, "Every player must play, and without it, you cannot progress. There is no doubt I deserved to play more at Beitar, but that's football, and I am grateful for every opportunity I was given." He also mentioned his desire to return to the national team, having received two call-ups without playing time.
Dahan's goal secured a fifth consecutive game without a loss for Bnei Sakhnin, a team showing improvement and aiming for the upper playoff bracket. Despite the disappointing draw against a weaker opponent, Dahan noted the team's fighting spirit and satisfaction with their progress, saying, "An entire team fought here, and if we are disappointed, it says a lot about the team's progress." He added, "We get our opportunities every game, and our focus is forward."
Coach Yossi Abuksis described the match as the team's best performance of the season by far, despite the result. "We had complete control with pressure, steals, chances, everything we could ask for except a goal in the net," Abuksis stated. He acknowledged the defensive strength of Ironi Tiberias and expressed satisfaction with the point earned, emphasizing the importance of building confidence, especially after a recent draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Abuksis also commented on player Daniel Persky, noting his late arrival, injury during play, and the need for a pre-season, expressing belief in his future contributions.
Bnei Sakhnin is currently on an upward trend and, with this draw, has extended its unbeaten streak to five matches. The team is looking to continue its positive momentum leading up to the league break, with their sights set on securing a position in the upper playoff section of the league.
