Israeli Soccer Stars Shine in European Leagues Post-Yom Kippur

Several Israeli soccer players made notable contributions to their European clubs following the Yom Kippur holiday. In the English Premier League, Anan Khalaily played a full 90 minutes for Crystal Palace in their 0-0 draw against Leeds United, a result that moved his team above the relegation zone. Khalaily was involved in a disallowed goal due to a marginal offside call and recorded a league-high 12 tackles, impressing with his defensive work.

In Turkey, Dia Saba scored the second goal in a 3-2 victory for his team, Umraniyespor, against Besiktas. This win propelled the newly promoted club to the top of the Turkish league standings heading into the international break, with Saba being praised for his consistent performance.

Elsewhere in European football, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in a heated derby, with the match turning after a red card for Real's Dean Hußen. In France, Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-1 win over Marseille in their classic rivalry match. Manchester City maintained their league lead with a high-scoring 5-3 victory over Sunderland, while Liverpool edged out Bournemouth 1-0. Manchester United drew 1-1 with Fulham, continuing their inconsistent start to the season.

In Italy, Juventus returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Atalanta. Meanwhile, in MLS, Lionel Messi scored a spectacular free-kick in Inter Miami's 2-2 draw with San Diego, his 75th career free-kick goal. Miami remains third in the Eastern Conference, extending their streak of draws.

In basketball news, Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly considering Cyprus as a venue for their EuroLeague home games, potentially attracting larger crowds than their current base in Serbia. The team is preparing for an upcoming game with key players Daniel Theis and Ozzie Brissett available.
