Weissman Scores First League Goal in Seven Years After Tactical Play
After a seven-year, four-month drought, Beitar Jerusalem striker Shon Weissman scored his first goal in the Israeli Premier League on Monday night against Maccabi Petah Tikva. This marks his return to scoring in the league since May 2019, before his move abroad, when he scored a brace against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. The goal originated from a tactical play initiated by Weissman himself, who moved to the edge of the penalty area and headed the ball towards Omer Atzili. Atzili then laid the ball off to Tomer Yosefi, who had made a run from behind, and Yosefi found Weissman unmarked in the box for the finish.
This goal signifies a significant moment for Weissman, ending a long period without league scoring for the Beitar Jerusalem forward. The specific attacking pattern employed, involving movement and passing between multiple players, was credited with creating the scoring opportunity.
