Israeli footballer Dia Saba is receiving widespread praise in Turkey for his stellar performance with Amedspor. On Saturday, Saba scored a dramatic game-winning goal in the 84th minute, securing a 2-1 victory against Samsunspor and temporarily elevating his team to first place in the Turkish league standings. This marks his fifth goal in nine league matches this season.
Amedspor's coach, Başakşehir, lauded Saba's contributions, stating, "We have to thank Dia Saba for the amazing goals he scores. He always scores beautiful goals, and I hope it continues like this. We have to focus on him; he scored an amazing goal, every goal he scores is amazing, he simply doesn't score ordinary goals. I am very happy."
Turkish media has also been effusive in their praise. TV 55 highlighted Saba's signature move, noting, "Saba is known precisely for the way he scored. He took the ball with his left foot, cut to the middle, and sent it to the far corner. It was clear it would end in a goal; they didn't close him down, the defenders went back and left him space. This is the Israeli's hallmark."
İlke TV described his goal as "one of the goals of the season," attributing its beauty to his "technique and calmness." The outlet emphasized his composure under pressure, stating, "It's very impressive, he is so cool-headed. To shoot so cleanly at such a tense moment is not easy at all. It was a tremendous goal."
Beinsport writer Ali Ferahbot went as far as to call Saba "Amedspor's Maradona" after witnessing his "simply crazy goal." Journalist Ali Piker Isik further elaborated on Saba's confidence, describing how he "looked the goalkeeper straight in the eye" before scoring, as if to say, "Look, brother, I'm putting the ball in this corner. Go ahead, do what you can." Isik added that the goalkeeper appeared helpless and frustrated, questioning his teammates for allowing Saba possession.
