Gabi Kanikovski Scores as Ferencváros Defeats Mohamed Salah's Trabzonspor in Turkey
Gabi Kanikovski, who may soon join Maccabi Tel Aviv before the transfer window closes, came off the bench in the 61st minute to help Ferencváros secure a 1-0 victory over Trabzonspor in Turkey on August 20, 2026. The Hungarian club took the lead early in the match with a header by Norwegian player Kristoffer Zachariassen in the 17th minute. Mohamed Salah, who recently transferred to Trabzonspor from Liverpool on a free transfer, played the full 90 minutes but could not help his team avoid defeat.
In stoppage time, Trabzonspor's Nigerian defender Chibuike Nwaivu was sent off. Nwaivu, who was previously trialed at Israeli club Bnei Sakhnin, has recently attracted significant transfer interest from Premier League clubs. Ferencváros now holds a strong advantage heading into the second leg of their UEFA Europa League qualifier in Hungary.
