Maccabi Tel Aviv's Hicham Laous Scores First League Goal in Two Years
Maccabi Tel Aviv maintained their perfect record in the league with a decisive 4-1 victory over rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv in the derby on Monday evening. The win saw two former Hapoel players, Osher Davida and Hicham Laous, score for the reigning cup holders.
For Laous, a substitute, his goal in the 88th minute, assisted by Elad Madmon who also scored in stoppage time, marked his first goal in the Israeli Premier League since September 1, 2024. This achievement comes after a loan spell last season with Levadiakos in Greece, where he scored four goals.
The club celebrated Laous's goal on social media, with fans and media noting the significance of his return to scoring form against his former club. The victory keeps Maccabi Tel Aviv at the top of the league standings.
