Israeli Teen Orien Goren Stars in Barcelona B Victory with Stunning Assist

Seventeen-year-old Israeli midfielder Orien Goren made a notable contribution in his season debut for Barcelona B on Sunday, participating in the team's dominant 5-0 home victory over Nahara in the opening match of the Spanish fourth division. In the 77th minute, Goren executed a remarkable assist, flicking the ball backward over a defender with his shoulder to set up the third goal for Ignasi Cuenca. This creative play was part of a one-sided affair for the Barcelona reserve team, which began its season with a strong offensive performance. Cuenca was the standout player, scoring four goals, with Alex Gonzalez adding the fifth.

Goren's performance follows a significant summer where he joined the senior team's preparations under coach Hansi Flick and made an unofficial debut in a friendly against Birmingham. During that match, he completed all 11 of his passes and provided a key pass. Catalan media praised his initiative and impact on the game. Barcelona's official website described the young Israeli as a versatile midfielder with high technical ability. Last season, he played for the top youth team, recording 36 appearances, four goals, and one assist.
