Daniel Vorko Covers Nearly 14 Kilometers in Beitar Jerusalem's Key Win Over AEK Larnaca

Beitar Jerusalem secured a dramatic advancement to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League after defeating AEK Larnaca of Cyprus in a penalty shootout (4-3) following a 3-2 win in extra time, with an aggregate score of 3-3. The match took place on July 30, 2026. Among the standout performers was young midfielder Daniel Vorko, who earned full trust from coach Almog Cohen and completed the game with the highest distance covered on the pitch, close to 14 kilometers over 112 minutes, an impressive feat.

Another recent signing, Tomer Yosefi, is expected to make his debut in the upcoming round against Austria Vienna. Defender Luka Gadrani, recovering from injury, is also anticipated to participate. Meanwhile, defender Uri Dahan, who was not featured in the match, continues to seek a new club. Additionally, Raviv Abergil and Ilai Hajaj are set to be loaned out soon as they are not in the club's plans for the season.

Beitar Jerusalem is also managing the future of midfielder Ailson Tabarsh, who currently has offers from Portugal but no clubs willing to pay a transfer fee or loan. Coach Almog Cohen is focusing on acquiring another defender and has decided not to loan out Nadav Markovitz for now. The club continues to prepare strategically for the next stages of European competition.
