Former Players Score Against Ex-Clubs in Israeli Soccer Match
In a peculiar turn of events during a soccer match between Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Hapoel Haifa at Turner Stadium, all three goals scored were by players who previously played for the opposing team. Hapoel Be'er Sheva was leading Hapoel Haifa 2-1 after just over an hour of play, with all goals coming from former players of the opposing clubs.
Eliel Peretz opened the scoring for Be'er Sheva, having previously played for Hapoel Haifa before a stint in foreign leagues. Alon Turgeman then netted a spectacular equalizer for Haifa, having played for Be'er Sheva last season. The lead was restored for Be'er Sheva by Javon East, who also played for Hapoel Haifa in the previous season.
The match, which saw three impressive goals, highlighted an unusual symmetry in player transfers and loyalties within the Israeli Premier League.
