Oday Dabbagh scored the winner as Aberdeen beat Hearts 1 -0 in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

The Palestinian was born in the Old City of Jerusalem and played for Hilal al-Quds .

He is the first homegrown product of Palestinian football to reach one of Europe 's big leagues.

He was signed by Arouca in the Portuguese top flight in August 2021 .

Aberdeen are now in the final having faced Elgin ( third in League Two at the time), Dunfermline (who were eighth in the Championship); and Queen's Park ( fifth in the same second tier). That was a charmed path to Hampden and the breaks continued for Aberdeen when Hearts went down to 10 and then nine men.

Still, Jimmy Thelin's side needed a hero and, for all their possession and all of their territory, it didn't look like they had one in their ranks - until Dabbagh pounced.
