Hapoel Raanana 1:4 Maccabi “Oded” Tel Aviv
After an opening Matchday victory, the Under-17 club continued their positive play up in the Sharon region as Nadav Nidam, Raava Assayag with a brace and Tal Yogadaev all scored for the young Yellow & Blue. Head Coach Eliezer Ben Aharon summed up the win: “Over the course of the first half we dominated play on the pitch and we scored 3 quality goals. Near the end of the half we weren’t focused and we gave up a goal. In the second half the quality of play dropped but we were still able to score another goal. During the week we practiced as if we were playing the way Raanana would and we were ready.”
