Forward Oday Dabbagh says his Scottish Cup semi-final winning goal for Aberdeen was the “best moment of his career”.
The striker’s extra-time goal gave the Dons a 2-1 victory over nine-man Hearts at Hampden on Saturday and sends them into next month’s Scottish Cup final.
Jimmy Thelin’s side are fifth in the Premiership table with five games to go, are still in contention to finish third, with a cup final to look forward to and Dabbagh is delighted to give the fans something to get excited about.
“To be honest, I cannot explain my emotions,” Dabbagh said.
“My feeling was a very, very good feeling. Especially when I saw the ball inside the net, I ran to the supporters. It was a very, very good feeling.
“I’m so happy, it was one of the best moments [of his career].
“The fans deserve this win, they deserve to be at the final because they are really, really a crazy support.
“I’m so happy to make them happy. We always speak in the dressing room, just, let’s fight.
“We look game by game, and we are in the final, now we focus on the Hibs game. We just look forward game by game.
“There’s still five weeks, we have a very important game next week. We just focus on the next game and we’ll see.
“The most important thing is just to keep going, and that’s what happened, that’s why I scored.”
