Dia Saba Scores Stunning Goal in Turkish League, Earning Praise as Season Opener Star
Israeli midfielder Dia Saba has made a remarkable impact in Turkey's top football league, scoring twice in a 3-0 victory for his team, Amedspor, against Erzurumspor. Both goals came in the 53rd and 61st minutes and were widely celebrated by Turkish fans and media as some of the best of the season, with comparisons to the prestigious Puskas Award for goal quality. Fans described Saba's movement as "like a koala" and praised his unstoppable form, calling him a "huge talent" and a "monster" on the field.
The Turkish fantasy football official account highlighted Saba's performance, noting he earned 16 points and should be included in every team. The sports website Ajansspor called his goal "historic," emphasizing its importance in easing pressure during a match between two newly promoted teams. Saba's first goal for Amedspor was also against Erzurumspor in the second division, and he followed up with a hat-trick and an assist against Sivasspor in the next round.
Last season, Saba finished with nine goals and ten assists, underscoring his significant contribution to the team. His early-season form in the Turkish Super Lig has already made him a standout player and a fan favorite as Amedspor begins their campaign with strong momentum.
