    "32' Jorginho(Zehavi E.) (Own goal)"

    Jorginho is on Hibernians. Zehavi is on Maccabi Tel Aviv, who scored. Can the last player on the team that scored get an assist if his play resulted in an own goal by the next player to touch the ball? According to that website players can get assists on own goals, but I never noticed that before.
