On 27 January 2024, Abdallah scored in the 1âÂÂ2 loss against Rapid BucureÃÂti and, despite the result, he was named Man of the Match. After this match, Rapid BucureÃÂti manager Cristiano Bergodi declared: "It was a very nice goal from Abdallah, I like a lot how he played against us. He is good, very good!".
