Squad

Shun Isotani damages knee ligaments — 39 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 39 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Shay Ben-David keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Hapoel Kiryat Shmona may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Vavá Guerreiro stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Vavá Guerreiro and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Shun Isotani damages knee ligaments — 69 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 69 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Ofir Benbenisty breaks a bone — 16 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 16 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Idan Dahan: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hapoel Kiryat Shmona have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Shun Isotani damages knee ligaments — 113 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 113 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings

Adrián Ugarriza runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A fracture rules Ofir Benbenisty out for 63 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hapoel Kiryat Shmona will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Reuben Acquah gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Reuben Acquah has just signed for Hapoel Kiryat Shmona, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Cristian Martínez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Basam Za'arura

20 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Amit Glazer

17 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Player ratings

Mohamed Ibrahim was the difference for Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Marked 7.68. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Market

The Nir Shechter conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Hapoel Tel Aviv will make the call about Nir Shechter this week. Hapoel Kiryat Shmona have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.
