Israeli Midfielder Abu Fani Shines in Serbia, Earning High Praise

Israeli midfielder Mohammad Abu Fani is garnering significant attention in Serbia following a standout performance for Red Star Belgrade. The 25-year-old played a pivotal role in his team's 2-0 victory over Zemun on Sunday, contributing both an assist and his first goal for the club.

Abu Fani set up the opening goal in the 57th minute for substitute Mirko Ivanić and then sealed the win with a spectacular strike in the 92nd minute. This performance comes after Red Star Belgrade's disappointing exit from the Europa League playoffs, where they lost a dramatic tie to Viktoria Plzeň.

Serbian media outlets have lauded Abu Fani's contribution. The "Telegraf" described him as the "big hero" and a "joker" who helped crush Zemun. "Meridian" highlighted his excellent play and "perfect shot" for his debut goal, noting he helped the team momentarily forget its recent struggles.

"Informer" praised his "chess-like" play, calling it a "wonderful game" and describing his stoppage-time goal as unstoppable. Abu Fani's recent performances have made him a key player for Red Star Belgrade, helping to ease some of the pressure following their European disappointment.
