Gabi Kanikovskiy’s Ferencváros Wins 1-0 to Edge Closer to Europa League Playoffs

Ferencváros, featuring Israeli midfielder Gabi Kanikovskiy, secured a 1-0 victory over Górnik Zabrze on August 5, 2026, advancing closer to the Europa League playoff stage. Kanikovskiy was active in the first half, notably creating a dangerous chance in the 17th minute with a right-footed shot that narrowly missed the goal. The winning goal came in the 65th minute when Kádár assisted Andrei Corbu, who scored from 18 meters into the bottom left corner. Kanikovskiy was substituted in the 83rd minute.

If Ferencváros progresses, they will face Turkish club Trabzonspor, known for signing Mohamed Salah this summer. Should Ferencváros fail to advance, they will drop to the Conference League playoffs, where they would meet Monaco, considered a challenging opponent.

Additionally, Israeli player Taï Abed appeared for 31 minutes in Levante’s friendly against Villarreal, nearly scoring with a header that went just wide. Levante lost the match 1-0. These performances highlight Israeli players making significant contributions in European club competitions and friendlies.
