Mohammad Abu Fani provided an assist, Niv Eliasi conceded four in his debut

After serving a suspension in the Europa League qualifying playoffs, following a red card received during a loss to Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Mohammad Abu Fani returned to the Red Star Belgrade lineup. The midfielder played 90 minutes and assisted the second goal in a 4-0 home victory over Cukaricki.

The Israel national team player launched a counterattack for Christian Balov, who overcame a defender and scored in the 47th minute. Nine minutes later, Balov assisted Loizos Loizou, who also started and celebrated his first league goal and his second since being acquired from Hapoel Tel Aviv. The Serbian champion is perfect after four matches and sits at the top with 12 points, while all four teams ranked behind it (10 points each) have already played six matches.

Niv Eliasi, who was loaned from Hapoel Be'er Sheva to Levadiakos, experienced a difficult debut in the Greek league as his team was defeated 4-0 in Thessaloniki by PAOK. In the 36th minute, the Israeli goalkeeper conceded a bicycle kick from Shola Shoretire, and five minutes later he conceded to Dimitrios Pielkas, who shot from 16 meters. Substitute Anstis Mitiu scored on a counterattack in the 72nd minute, and towards the end, he was fouled by Eliasi in the box. Andrija Zivkovic, who assisted the first two goals, sealed the result in the 89th minute.
