Tiktekno: clip summarizing today's events in sport, 9.2/sport1
Sean Weissman changed atmosphere after a difficult period in Spain and was loaned to the Italian Salernitana, and tonight (Friday) he could not have dreamed of a better start to his career in the land of the boot.
A striker of the Israeli national team started the home game against Empoli on the bench, but came on in the 41st minute following an injury to Niccolò Pierozzi.
In the 69th minute, ex-Italian Antonio Canderba collected a cross, and the Israeli scored a characteristic goal with a shot into the net.
In a game that is still being played at this time, Weissman's goal made it 1:1, when visiting Empoli took the lead in the 23rd minute from an own goal by Alessandro Zanoli.
Filippo Inzaghi's Salernitana close the table, while Empoli are also fighting for their lives in the top flight.
As I remember, Weissman was loaned until the end of the season from Granada in Spain after rarely getting minutes.
In the months since the outbreak of the war, many in Spain have come out against Weissman due to his support for Israel and the fact that he is Israeli, and for example his transfer to Burgos from the second division was dropped due to the opposition of the fans.
The striker was not Salernotina's only acquisition towards the end of the window.
The team from the south of Italy also signed two veteran and well-known stoppers in the form of ex-Bayern Munich Jerome Boateng and ex-Roma Costas Manolas.
