Zahi Ahmed Scores Crucial Goal for Hapoel Be'er Sheva in Champions League Qualifier

Hapoel Be'er Sheva winger Zahi Ahmed scored a vital goal on Wednesday evening, helping his team take the lead against Vikingur in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. This marked Ahmed's 13th goal in 73 appearances for the club and his first goal of the current season. Known for delivering in critical moments, Ahmed has scored three important goals since the start of the 'Lion's Roar' era at Be'er Sheva. His previous goal came in a decisive match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, which secured the championship for Be'er Sheva. In the opening round of last season, Ahmed netted a brace against Maccabi Netanya. Additionally, in the 2024/25 season, he scored the only field goal in the State Cup final against Beitar Jerusalem, doubling the lead after Dan Biton's goal in the 24th minute. Ahmed's consistent ability to score in key games highlights his importance to the team as they compete in European competition.
