Match27 Sep 2034

The small margins put Bnei Sakhnin out

Out, 0‑0 to Bnei Yehuda, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad2 Oct 2034

15 seasons of Mohammed Abu-Nil

292 appearances across 15 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Bnei Sakhnin know what they have.

Player ratings2 Oct 2034

Nduduzo Mhlongo, 33, rolls back the years — 7.90

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.90 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad2 Oct 2034

Daniel Paraschiv signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Daniel Paraschiv commits to Bnei Sakhnin for another 2 years.

Squad2 Oct 2034

Daniel Paraschiv 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 Bnei Sakhnin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad2 Oct 2034

Words at Bnei Sakhnin training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Wes Harding 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.

The terraces2 Oct 2034

Bnei Sakhnin supporters have found a favourite in Nir Shechter

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Nir Shechter has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match30 Sep 2034

Matty Cudjoe sends Bnei Sakhnin past Maccabi Netanya

It finished 2‑0, and it was Matty Cudjoe’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Bnei Sakhnin.

Player ratings2 Oct 2034

A masterclass from Matty Cudjoe

Marked 8.56 — 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.

Market5 Dec 2033

Elad Amir is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Bnei Sakhnin is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad5 Dec 2033

Mohammed Abu-Nil signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mohammed Abu-Nil and Bnei Sakhnin agree another 2 years.

Squad5 Dec 2033

Daniel Paraschiv 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 Bnei Sakhnin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Dec 2033

Nduduzo Mhlongo 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.

Boardroom5 Dec 2033

Bnei Sakhnin beat the market to Idan Kapellner from Hapoel Haifa

Hapoel Haifa will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Idan Kapellner has pre-agreed a move to Bnei Sakhnin, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Match3 Dec 2033

Bnei Sakhnin find a way past Beitar Jerusalem

Beitar Jerusalem made Bnei Sakhnin work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings5 Dec 2033

A masterclass from Ahmed Salman

Marked 8.10 — 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.

Player ratings5 Dec 2033

A masterclass from Matty Cudjoe

Marked 8.01 — 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.

Squad5 Dec 2033

Nir Shechter is the division's best young player this month

At 21 he has spent a month being better than everybody his age in the league, which is a different and harder thing than one good afternoon. Bnei Sakhnin will try very hard not to make too much of it.

Match26 Nov 2033

Bnei Sakhnin leave it late against Hapoel Haifa

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 85th, and Hapoel Haifa spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Squad28 Nov 2033

Tempers go at Bnei Sakhnin

Daniel Paraschiv 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.

Squad28 Nov 2033

Words at Bnei Sakhnin training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nduduzo Mhlongo 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.

Bnei Sakhnin supporters have found a favourite in Nir Shechter

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Nir Shechter has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match26 Nov 2033

Nir Shechter the difference as Bnei Sakhnin beat Hapoel Haifa

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Nir Shechter. 1‑0 against Hapoel Haifa, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings28 Nov 2033

One of those days for Matty Cudjoe

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.39, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings28 Nov 2033

Nobody could get near Ahmed Salman

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom28 Nov 2033

Wages eat 107% of everything Bnei Sakhnin earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad28 Nov 2033

Bnei Sakhnin pick somebody else ahead of Maron Ghantous

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
