Weissman Scores First League Goal in Seven Years After Tactical Play
After a seven-year, four-month drought, Beitar Jerusalem striker Shon Weissman returned to scoring in the Israeli Premier League on Monday. Weissman found the back of the net against Maccabi Petah Tikva, marking his first league goal since May 2019, before his move abroad. The decisive play originated with Weissman making a significant run near the penalty area, heading the ball towards Omer Atzili. Atzili then laid the ball off to Tomer Yosefi, who had made a run from behind. Yosefi's pass found Weissman unmarked in the box, allowing him to score.
This goal signifies a major comeback for Weissman, who had previously scored a brace against Hapoel Be'er Sheva 2,689 days prior to this match. The tactical setup and execution of the attacking play were highlighted as key factors in breaking his scoring drought.
