Moroccan forward Saced Haddad scores remarkable goal in Croatia
A Moroccan footballer, Saced Haddad, scored a notable scissor-kick goal for Slaven Belupo in the Croatian league, helping the team earn a 2-2 draw. Haddad is on loan from Fuenlabrada with an option to buy, and his performance has attracted attention from fans and pundits alike. This explainer breaks down what happened, who is affected, and what might come next.
What happened
In the eighth round of the Croatian league, Slaven Belupo faced a 2-2 draw. Saced Haddad scored in the 54th minute, receiving a cross from the right and volleying with a scissor kick into the net. The goal was described by some observers as highly impressive and a potential "goal of the season" candidate. Haddad is on loan to Slaven Belupo from Fuenlabrada, with an option for Slaven Belupo to buy at the end of the loan period (which runs until December).
Who is affected
People most affected include Haddad and Slaven Belupo’s squad, the club’s fans, and Fuenlabrada, the parent club. Haddad’s loan status means the Croatian club is evaluating performance with an eye toward a possible permanent transfer. If the option to buy is exercised, Haddad would switch from being a loaned player to a full member of Slaven Belupo. Local supporters may be encouraged by the standout goal, while Fuenlabrada may adjust its plans based on how Haddad develops abroad.
Practical next steps
For fans: watch Haddad’s recent highlights to gauge his form and potential value to Slaven Belupo. For the clubs: monitor Haddad’s performances through the loan period, and consider contract discussions if his contributions continue at a high level. For viewers newer to football terms: a loan means a player temporarily plays for another club; an option to buy gives the receiving club a chance to purchase the player when the loan ends.

Details about contract terms, the exact loan duration, and the existence or structure of any buy option should be confirmed from official club announcements or league records.
