Marked for Nir Natcho

Match7 Nov 2026

Maccabi Haifa run riot against Bnei Yehuda

5‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad9 Nov 2026

20 days out for Nir Natcho after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Maccabi Haifa will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Bruninho takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match7 Nov 2026

Maccabi Haifa make it 6 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Maccabi Haifa have 6 straight wins of it.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Up for the corner, and Ethane Azoulay delivers — 7.69

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Ethane Azoulay scored, was marked 7.69, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Maccabi Haifa

Jelle Bataille and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words at Maccabi Haifa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cédric Don is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

One of those days for Bruninho

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.20, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match7 Nov 2026

Maccabi Haifa are at home on the road

3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A fracture rules Nir Natcho out for 27 days

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

Match2 Nov 2026

Nobody above Maccabi Haifa

First, on 20 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Match31 Oct 2026

Maccabi Haifa cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Guy Melamed, 33, rolls back the years — 7.81

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.81 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Match31 Oct 2026

Maccabi Haifa get the job done against Maccabi Petach Tikva

A 2‑0 win over Maccabi Petach Tikva, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

A masterclass from Pierre Cornud

Marked 8.07 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Player of the month: Guy Melamed

Four weeks in which nobody in the division did his job better. The award goes on a shelf and the player goes back into the side, which is the order Maccabi Haifa prefer.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

$3.3M on the table at Maccabi Haifa

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Loan watch2 Nov 2026

Nevot Ratner wants to come home

“I did not go to Hapoel Tel Aviv to sit and watch. I want to come back to Maccabi Haifa and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

In brief

  • The dugout The view from the dugout

Squad26 Oct 2026

34 days out for Nir Natcho after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Maccabi Haifa will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Vintage Guy Melamed — 8.13

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.13, and nobody on the pitch better.

Match24 Oct 2026

Nobody wants to play Maccabi Haifa right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Cédric Don beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Maccabi Haifa

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Cédric Don was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match24 Oct 2026

Maccabi Haifa get the job done against Hapoel Kfar Saba

A 1‑0 win over Hapoel Kfar Saba, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Maccabi Haifa

Roy Katri and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Maccabi Haifa are still strangers to each other

5 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 dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Eitan Benayoun kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

In brief
