Israeli Midfielder Abu Fani Earns High Marks Despite Red Star Belgrade Draw

Despite a goalless draw against Radnik, Israeli midfielder Moanes Abu Fani impressed for Red Star Belgrade, earning a SofaScore rating of 7.2. This performance comes amidst speculation about his place in coach Alberto Riera's plans, with Abu Fani continuing to prove his value to the Serbian champions.

Abu Fani was a key player in the match, delivering two key passes, completing 43 of 47 passes, winning four out of eight duels, and recovering the ball four times. He operates in a relatively advanced midfield role within the team's 3:2:4:1 formation and has started three of the last four games.

He has played 673 minutes for Red Star Belgrade this season, more than any other player relative to the total available minutes, considering he missed games due to suspension from a red card received against Beer Sheva in Europa League qualifiers. Only two teammates, Timi Max Elšnik (740 minutes) and Young-woo Seol (700 minutes), have played more overall minutes.

Following the match, coach Riera expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, stating, "We controlled the game. We created 15-20 chances. If that's not enough to score, we will create double. That's what I will tell my players. I am satisfied because everyone gave their all. We were significantly better."
