The exclusive international competition got underway on Friday at the home stadium of Rapid Wien which holds 28k people as the Under-15 led by coaches Ori David and Amir Sofer recorded a 2:1 victory over AIK Stockholm thanks to a brace by Yalli Lazar.
The Under-15’s got off to a fine start as they pressed their Swedish opponents and created a number of good opportunities early on as the young Yellow & Blue played team football and looked to take an early lead. However, despite Maccabi’s quality chances, AIK Stockholm took a 1:0 advantage into the break.
The Yellow & Blue went into the second half looking for an equalizer and played well on the wings giving them a number of opportunities that led to not only the tying goal but the winning marker as well. Yalli Lazar bagged a brace by scoring in the 58th and 60th minutes to help pick up the win. The Club’s philosophy was on full display as the Under-15’s performed well in their first international contest.
