Israeli Midfielder Abu Fani Shines in Red Star Belgrade's 4-0 Win Over Larne

Red Star Belgrade dominated Larne with a 4-0 victory on Tuesday, securing a strong advantage ahead of the Champions League qualifier second leg. Israeli midfielder Mohammed Abu Fani, who recently transferred from Maccabi Haifa, stood out by assisting the third goal. Serbian media praised Abu Fani's performance, highlighting his initiative and control in midfield, with Sportklub noting his ability to organize the attack and create multiple chances. Mundo described his pass as "perfect," calling him the "master of the midfield" and applauding his excellent game.

Abu Fani started his second consecutive match for Red Star, alongside Louizos Louizo, another recent signing from Hapoel Tel Aviv. Louizo was substituted at halftime for Osman Bukari, who also provided an assist and showed promising plays but is still adapting to the team. Fans expressed confidence that Bukari will secure a starting spot, citing his game-changing abilities compared to Louizo's inconsistency. Despite this, Louizo may still get opportunities in the upcoming second leg.

If Israeli teams eliminate Vikingur from the Champions League qualifiers, Red Star will face Hapoel Be'er Sheva, setting up a notable Israeli clash in the competition. The match showcased Abu Fani's growing influence and the team's strong form as they aim to advance further in European competition.
