After a rough start to the season on Matchday One against Maccabi Haifa, the Under-16 side hosted Hapoel Beer Sheva. In the 27’, a beautiful free kick by Rotem Grama found the back of the goal and gave the young Yellow & Blue a 1:0 lead. In the second half, Ori HaLevy scored a brace within four minutes (67’, 71’) to help Maccabi to a 3:0 victory against the southern squad.

Eran Sassi, the U16 Head Coach summed up the victory: “This was a match that was in our control from the opening to the closing minutes just like we had wanted. We were organized defensively but the most important thing was that the players worked hard and didn’t give up on any ball.”
