Omer Atzili Nears Eli Ohana's Scoring Record in Israeli League
Beitar Jerusalem star Omer Atzili has reached 111 goals in the Israeli Premier League, placing him within striking distance of legendary player Eli Ohana's record. Atzili achieved this milestone during a recent match where he scored and assisted for the first time this season, a feat he had previously accomplished in four separate games.
This season, Atzili also scored his first goal from outside the penalty area, contrasting with his three long-range goals last year. He capitalized on a goalkeeping error from Yoav Ofir to score from a difficult angle. Atzili's involvement in goals has been significant throughout his career, notably contributing to 11 goals and 7 assists against Hapoel Haifa. His highest goal involvement in a single fixture is against Maccabi Netanya with 23 and Kiryat Shmona with 18.
Currently ranked 29th all-time in league scoring, the 33-year-old Atzili is now just ten goals behind Eli Ohana. He is also 44 goals away from the top ten scorers, a mark he could potentially reach within the next two seasons.
