Maccabi Haifa Star Bruninho Dominates Early Season Scoring

Bruninho, a star player for Maccabi Haifa, has been instrumental in the team's early success this season, surpassing notable teammates like Chery, Atzili, Pierrot, and Stewart in offensive contributions. In a dramatic 2-1 victory over Hapoel Petah Tikva on Saturday, Bruninho provided an assist for Andrija Novakovich and scored a goal himself from outside the box. His current season statistics show him involved in every goal scored by Maccabi Haifa, with three goals and one assist so far. This includes a penalty he drew against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Bruninho has demonstrated exceptional long-range shooting ability, scoring two goals from outside the penalty area, more than any other player in the Israeli Premier League. For comparison, last year in Ukraine, he scored eight goals and provided two assists in 22 games. This season, he has already achieved nearly half of that total in just four matches. Since joining Maccabi Haifa, Bruninho has been involved in a goal every 67.5 minutes in the league, including two games where he was directly responsible for two goals each. Other key Maccabi Haifa players' early season statistics after the first three league games include Triveant Stewart with two goals, Chery with two assists, Omer Atzili with one assist, and Frantzdy Pierrot with one league goal.
