The Under-17 Israel National Team is participating in a tournament in Belarus that began play today. Gadi Brumer’s side defeated Georgia 4:0 as Maccabi’s Eden Kartzev scored a brace. Even though Kartzev is playing with the Under-17 due to his age, he is part of Maccabi’s Under-19 squad.
Guy Dahan gave the Blue & White a 1:0 lead in the 13th minute while Kartzev scored his first of two 14 minutes later after taking advantage of a Georgian defensive mistake. In the 53rd minute, the Yellow & Blue midfielder scored his second of the contest from 14 meters out. With 20 minutes remaining in the match, Nasir Magduv scored Israel’s fourth goal. Tomorrow, the Blue & While will face their Ukrainian counterparts.
Other than Kartzev, Maccabi’s Daniel Peretz, Alon Strosberg, Amit Glazer, Tomer Machlof and Eyal Hen are also part of the squad.
