Israeli Midfielder Abu Fani Shines in Serbia, Earning Rave Reviews

Israeli midfielder Moanes Abu Fani is making a significant impact in Serbia, earning widespread praise for his recent performance with Red Star Belgrade. The 26-year-old midfielder was instrumental in his team's 2-0 victory over Zemun on Sunday, contributing a goal and an assist.

Abu Fani set up the first goal in the 57th minute for substitute Mirko Ivanić and then scored his first goal for the club in the 92nd minute, sealing the win. This performance came after Red Star Belgrade's disappointing exit from the Europa League playoffs, where they lost to Viktoria Plzeň after squandering a 3-0 lead in the first leg.

Serbian media outlets have lauded Abu Fani's contributions. The Serbian Telegraph described him as the "big hero" and a "joker" who helped crush Zemun. Meridian noted his "great play" and a "perfect shot" for his debut goal, stating he helped the team momentarily forget their recent struggles.

Informers highlighted his "chess-like" play, calling it a "wonderful game" and describing his stoppage-time goal as "unstoppable." The praise suggests Abu Fani has become a key player for Red Star Belgrade, helping to stabilize the team after a difficult period.
