A few minutes before the opening whistle for tonight's game (Tuesday) between Bnei Sakhnin and Betar Jerusalem, hundreds of Sakhnin fans stood in a hurry at the entrance to one of the stands.
This stand at all was supposed to be closed, but the discretion and desire to prevent a disaster, changed the picture.
At exactly the same time, dozens of Betar fans made their way accompanied by police officers, some of whom entered after the opening whistle.
In general, the road to Sakhnin was difficult and tedious.
To the writer of these lines, it took more than three hours to get from Haifa to the grounds of the field.
Checkpoints on checkpoints, more and more checkpoints, some of which do not even check the vehicles that have passed slowly that can drive you crazy.
In this reality one has to get to watch a game in the Premier League.
It is not normal, not normal, but also not new in these encounters.

On the field, Sakhnin was better against Beitar and its many problems.
Guy Melamed (35) and Biram Kiel (45) arranged for Sakhnin a second consecutive victory and a rise to third place in the table.
Because that's how it is in our league, two wins you are up, a loss and a half and you are at the bottom.
At the end of the game there was a big commotion.
Betar contact Marko Jankovic was sent off.
Upon descending to the locker room, a bottle was thrown at Sakhnin fans and hit the player's head.
Jankovic was agitated, complaining to Judge Eitan Shmuelevich, who explained that the matter would be mentioned in the court report.
A riot then broke out in the locker room area, leading to a confrontation between Yankovich and Bnei Sakhnin chairman Muhammad Abu Yunis.
Dozens more flares were seized in the stands of Sakhnin fans after intelligence information reached the police.
The torches were lit inside decks, side rooms in the stadium and other hiding places.
