Dia Saba Scores Twice as Amedspor Wins Turkish Premier League Opener

Israeli midfielder Dia Saba started the new Turkish top-flight season impressively by scoring two goals for his team, Amedspor, in their opening match against Erzurumspor on August 16, 2026. Saba, 33, who joined Amedspor last summer after helping them secure promotion from the second division, continued his strong form from the previous season where he scored nine goals and provided ten assists. The match ended 3-0 in favor of Amedspor, with Saba substituted in the 77th minute. Turkish fans praised his performance on social media, highlighting his skill and comparing him favorably to top players in the league. Saba left Maccabi Haifa due to tax issues that forced him to leave Israel, and he has since become a key player for Amedspor in Turkey's premier league.
