22 saves: Ofek Antman was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 22 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Match9 Jan 2027
Hapoel Acre taken apart
0‑4 to Beitar Jerusalem, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

No end in sight to Hapoel Acre's wait for a win
5 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.
Match9 Jan 2027
No clean sheets in sight for Hapoel Acre

Dor Weissman steps up from the Hapoel Acre academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Dor Weissman 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.

Nobody left the Hapoel Acre dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
In brief
- The dugout Avi Hemed answers for it
