No mercy from Beitar Jerusalem
Hapoel Acre will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Beitar Jerusalem were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

A fracture rules Ori Dahan out for 51 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Beitar Jerusalem will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

A brace, and Tomer Yosefi takes the afternoon — 9.58
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Tomer Yosefi provided it, and the 9.58 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Timo Muzie puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Beitar Jerusalem, and it is not being withdrawn.

Beitar Jerusalem say no — this time
The offer from Hapoel Raanana for Ori Dahan was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Omri Levi says Beitar Jerusalem went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Tempers go at Beitar Jerusalem
Dor Micha was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A move Eran Ginat would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Eran Ginat is living that version at Beitar Jerusalem, and it tends to show in the first month.
In brief
- Player ratings Boris Enow shuts the door
- Player ratings A masterclass from Juan Mendoza
- Market Beitar Jerusalem buy the years ahead of Eran Ginat
