Dabbagh scores on Chaleroi debut

Oday Dabbagh is off to a flying start in Belgium. Yesterday, the Jerusalemite scored Charleroi’s first goal of the 2023/24 season. Les Zébres only managed a 1-1 draw against OH Leuven in large part due to a sending off the team suffered four minutes after Dabbagh’s opener. In spite of the draw, the attacker was awarded the man of the match trophy and was a constant threat for Charleroi in the 78 minutes he played.
