Match

No end in sight to Hapoel Acre's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hapoel Acre has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Hapoel Acre leaking at the back

5 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ange Messi

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Hapoel Acre lose Gilad Litman

19 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match

Hapoel Acre come up short against Beitar Jerusalem

Beitar Jerusalem left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Junior Traoré

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑3 defeat, delivered by Matan Revivo to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

Tempers go at Hapoel Acre

Yoni El Malem 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.

Looking ahead

Roei Shukrani faces his old club

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona next, and one man in the Hapoel Acre dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Player ratings

Yadin Lugasi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 27. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Gilad Litman out for 49 days

The medical room confirms 49 days on the sidelines for Gilad Litman, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Roei Shukrani 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.

Market

Omer Abada steps up from the Hapoel Acre academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Omer Abada has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ellis Spikner

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ellis Spikner, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Matan Revivo on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Matan Revivo after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Player ratings

Osama Khalaila leaves them behind him

Shots: 8. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Match

No goals between Hapoel Acre and Hapoel Kfar Saba

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Hapoel Kfar Saba will be the happier side with the point.

Looking ahead

Nitai Greis goes back to face Maccabi Petach Tikva

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Nitai Greis’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Hapoel Acre needing him to play as if none of it matters.
