6 saves: Mohammed Galadima was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

A falling-out at Hapoel Kfar Saba
Brandão and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match24 Oct 2026
A bad afternoon for Hapoel Kfar Saba against Maccabi Haifa
0‑1 to Maccabi Haifa, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Konadu Yiadom falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Hapoel Kfar Saba are still strangers to each other
20 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Tomer Shechter left the room before anybody could ask which.

No hiding place for Yoav Koren
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Yoav Koren, and the manager let it.

Eli Levy dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
Looking ahead26 Oct 2026
Denny Gropper goes back to face Hapoel Haifa
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Denny Gropper’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Hapoel Kfar Saba needing him to play as if none of it matters.
In brief
- Player ratings Silas Nwankwo runs at them all day
- The dugout Amit Arazi does not fit this one
