Bnei Sakhnin Criticize Coaching Staff After Draw

Bnei Sakhnin's professional staff faced criticism following their recent match against Maccabi Petah Tikva, where a delayed substitution for injured player Dimitri Kebra is believed to have cost the team a victory. Kebra, a central defender, sustained an injury several minutes before conceding a goal that leveled the score. Club officials expressed frustration, stating, "They saw he couldn't walk on his feet, he's a central defender in a back three, not a striker you can keep on." They lamented the "heavy price" paid, suggesting a halftime lead would have secured a win.

Kebra is set for further medical evaluation, with the club hoping his injury is not severe enough to sideline him for an extended period, given his importance to the defense. The team's performance also saw another disappointing outing from Sanna Gomes, and while Bnei Sakhnin created more chances than in their previous game against Maccabi Netanya, their offensive reliance on the sometimes selfish play of Matthew Cudjoe was evident.

Looking ahead, Bnei Sakhnin acknowledged a challenging summer marked by a change in management and the addition of new players. The club plans to sign one more foreign player and potentially an additional Israeli player if a suitable reinforcement is found. "We hope what we've built will succeed," officials commented after the game, reflecting on a difficult offseason.
