It was a great Saturday for all three youth clubs that played on Saturday in their respective leagues. Ziv Arie’s Under-19 side opened up the season on the right foot at their home stadium in Ramle, Ori Uzan’s club also continued their winning ways and Eliezer Ben Aharon’s team started off their campaign with an away victory.
Maccabi “Shachar” Tel Aviv – SC Ashdod 1:0
The statistics say that it’s difficult for a team in Israel to play in both a European and domestic competition at the same time, but Ziv Arie’s side was able to put that to bed with an opening day win over Ashdod. Captain Dan Glazer scored the lone goal of the match, as his 54th minute strike was all that the club needed to secure the 3-points. Next Matchday Maccabi will travel to face Bnei Sakhnin.

The second frame saw Maccabi “Oded” Tel Aviv add an additional goal while Kiryat Shemona picked up a goal of their own before the final whistle. Netanel Peretz scored a brace as Prince Thomas and Deslin Belachio each scored a goal as well.
