The Under-17 side began their training camp friendlies with a 1:0 victory over local outfit Olympic Kiev. Bar Cohen scored the decisive goal for the young Yellow & Blue in the 55th minute in the 3rd day at their Ukraine training camp as the team will face other clubs in the upcoming days.
The victory continues the positive momentum that has surrounded all of the Maccabi Youth Department teams thus far as they prepare to face some tougher competition in Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv.
Head Coach Eliezer Ben Aharon summed up the camp so far: “This was our first friendly and it was a good predatory match against a very physical club. The players are gaining experience from these types of opportunities and it also gives us a chance to get to know each other better as we continue to see the club improve.”
