Ghanaian forward Emmanuel Boateng marked his second appearance for Hapoel Tel Aviv with his first goal, helping his side secure a 3–1 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem in the Israeli Premier League.

The 29-year-old came off the bench and needed just 21 minutes on the pitch to make his mark, finding the net in an assured performance that underlined his attacking sharpness.

Boateng’s contribution went beyond the goal. He completed all of his attempted passes, registering 100% passing accuracy, and won every aerial duel he contested, an impressive return for a player still settling into a new environment.

The striker, who joined the Tel Aviv-based club in the recent transfer window, is gradually building momentum and confidence. His quick impact will be welcomed by supporters eager to see the Ghanaian bring his experience and goal-scoring instinct to the squad.

For Boateng, the goal represents more than just a statistic. It signals a promising start to life in Israel and a potential springboard for a productive spell with his new club.

If his cameo performance is any indication, Hapoel Tel Aviv may have found a forward capable of making decisive contributions when it matters most.
