Gabi Kanikovskiy’s Ferencváros Wins 1-0, Nears Europa League Playoff Clash with Mohamed Salah’s Team
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 round. 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 playoff, where they would meet Monaco in a challenging tie.
Additionally, Israeli player Ta'ai 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 developments highlight the ongoing involvement of Israeli players in European competitions and friendlies as the new season approaches.
