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.”

SC Ironi Ashdod Morris 4:2 Maccabi “Eli Fuchs” Tel Aviv
The Club’s U16 squad began their 2017/18 campaign falling to the southern side. Ashdod scored a pair of first half goals and Maccabi drew even the end of 45 minutes thanks to goals by Shaked Navon and Tal Torgeman. However, the hosts would score 2 goals in the second half sending the Under-16’s to defeat. Assistant coach Leon Asraf spoke about the club’s performance: “We will lift ourselves up, learn from our mistakes and keep on working hard.”

Jonathan Cohen signed a contract extension

Jonathan Cohen signed a contract extension which will keep him at Maccabi Tel Aviv till the end of the 2019/20 season and was loaned to Bnei Yehuda till the end of the season.

Maccabi’s coach Jordi Cruyff told the club’s official website: “We are happy to extend Jonathan’s contract byba further year and to keep him at Maccabi Tel Aviv till the end of the 2019/20 season. We are satisfied with the progress he made over the past few years and after a year’s loan at Bnei Yehuda where he played some significant minutes and having analysed the situation together, we feel that another season on loan could only benefit his progress”.

Cohen who scored his debut goal for Maccabi in this season’s Europa League 1st qualifying round return leg against Tirana, added: “I am delighted to extend my contract at the club I grew up at and is a home to me. I am going for another season on loan and believe it could contribute a lot to my future”.
