Bnei Sakhnin and Hapoel Haifa parted ways tonight (Saturday) with a particularly enjoyable 2: 2. Although neither of them managed to win and take the three points, but both presented offensive football, scored beautiful goals and justified their place in fifth and second places respectively.

However, an ugly incident took place outside the lawn, when Hapoel Haifa fans claimed that Sakhnin fans threw stones at them and at their cars. Following the incident, the club contacted the Israel Police, the Football Association and the director of the leagues in order to investigate and prosecute the stone-throwers. The club said "it is not possible for fans to return from a football game with injuries to body and property, we call on the Israeli police to take a tough hand against the rioters and ensure that football fans do not get hurt and are not afraid to come to the games."

League director Erez Kalfon responded to the events: "Every injury to football fans is taken very seriously, even if it is an incident that happened outside the stadium area.

It's hard to see the Hapoel Haifa fan and the terrible incident tonight.

We are in constant contact with police representatives and are updated on the findings of the investigation of the incident.

"Football fans in Israel should feel safe when they come to a football game and we will make sure that they receive the necessary protection, in every city, from the police."

Hapoel Haifa owner Yoav Katz recently spoke by phone with a fan of the team, Shaked, whose car was stoned to death at the end of the game in Sakhnin. Katz expressed shock at the incident, demanded the peace of the family and invited Shaked and her family to host the upcoming home game against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Katz, who was sensitive to the issue as having personally experienced violence from football fans several years ago, said: "If we do not stop this violence one day a disaster will happen"

Sakhnin denied the allegations, saying: "He knew how excited she might be. In terms of content, we have not yet received from the police the truth behind the story. The history of similar claims has taught us that not everything that is published by guests is true."

At the end of the game, Bnei Sakhnin coach Sharon Mimar, who saw his players come back twice from behind, admitted: "I really enjoyed it, there was a high tempo between two teams that played offensively and got into a lot of situations. "And we returned twice from behind and also to the audience that supported us. If we continue like this, we will reach beautiful places."

On the early delay and the goals that were disqualified: "We learned not to break after the games against Netanya and Kiryat Shmona. We scored two goals and we could have scored more, to tell the truth they could have scored but I think justice was done. The goals were disqualified? I learned that every time it is a 50- decision "So it's not in our favor and we have to deal with it and it's a shame, but justice will be done when we have not lost."

After the game he smiled.

Afterwards, the players from Bnei Sakhnin also appeared in the interview stand, occupying the segmented equalizer that Ata had with Biram Kiel next to him.

"It's exciting and I want to say thank you to Biram for giving me an amazing ball," said Shalata. "This is my first goal of the season and I hope we continue like this the whole team.

Kiel was asked if he finished his career with the Israeli national team and replied: "If Willie does not invite me, then I should probably say thank you to the national team that has been a big part of my career. 33 years old and if I am not invited to the team then probably the end is very close. "

Will he not return to the team anymore?

Unlike Kiel, the one who really does not give up on the team is the king of Premier League goals, Alon Turgeman, who today raised his tally to nine goals.

On being left out of Rotensteiner's squad this time too, he said: "I respect the national team coach and I have already said that it is his choice. I want to help the national team, I think I deserve and I will continue to work harder until he finally hires me."

On the game, the striker said: "I knew there was no difference and that the referee would approve the goal. There was a great pace and reaching our audience aspired to an amazing display. We led twice and it was a pity we did not take the three points, but we are looking forward."

Will continue to work hard until summoned.

Elisha Levy, Hapoel Haifa coach, concluded: "Coaches do not have fun when their team does not win, but I guess the crowd enjoys. Today we saw two teams that came to play football. Sakhnin is a very talented team and we are good too, I think it is a game that everyone who loves Israeli football enjoys from him".

On the expectations from Hapoel Haifa: "I do not lower anything. We create a lot of opportunities in every game, conquer, are organized on defense, enthusiastic and want so there is no reason not to talk about Hapoel Haifa as they talk about it. Our audience loves the team and that is most important. Sticking to the top is difficult and we will try to keep it. "

On the fact that Turgeman was not included in the squad: "As someone who has been on the squad I think he is worth a summons, but also understands the considerations made. I recommend Alon to keep coming every Saturday and do what he does."
