Pride was a theme underlined by Beitar Jerusalem's coach, Yuval Naim, before last night's encounter with Bnei Sakhnin at Teddy Stadium. Naim told his players that the fans would hate losing against Sakhnin, without spelling out the obvious reason. In retrospect, his words probably demoralized his team: Sakhnin enjoyed their evening in Jerusalem, taking the lead in the first half through a Ahmed Kasoum goal, and adding two more in the second half. Beitar's fans reacted with racist chants - before someone swiftly played music on the stadium's PA system to drown out the embarrassment that already caused Beitar to be docked two points this season. After the game, Beitar's fans called for Naim to resign, and hurled stones at the Sakhnin fans' bus. Police arrested 12 people - eight Sakhnin fans and four Beitar fans - after skirmishes erupted.
