Under-15’s Win Super Cup
The league has ended and the cups have been awarded, however, the youth department is still collecting titles, this time in a special match between Maccabi’s two Under-15 teamsThe youth leagues have ended and the Cups have been raised, but the various Maccabi Tel Aviv youth sides are still busy battling for titles. This past Saturday, Maccabi “Eli Fuchs”, Maccabi “Eldad” and Maccabi’s second Under-15 team all participated in a Super Cup tournament.
While the Under-19 and Under-17 clubs play in the top leagues for their age groups, the younger teams are split into various areas of the country. The winners of each area plus the Cup winner came together to participate in the competition which saw the Under-15 sides split up into two groups of four teams play at the American School in Even Yehuda.
Both of Maccabi’s Under-15 clubs under the direction of Ran Elias and Amri Sofer had one goal in mind at the start of the day, to play each other in the final. Ran Elias saw his team defeat Kirayt Shemona 7:0 but then fall to Hapoel Beer Sheva 1:3 making the final group stage match against Hapoel Tel Aviv the deciding game. Lo and behold, Maccabi took down the Reds 2:0 and advanced to the final from their group.
Amir Sofer’s side also won two group matches, against Hapoel Hadera 4:1 and S.C. Tribe 7:0 while drawing 3:3 versus Maccabi Petach Tikva also seining them to the Super Cup Title match.
After a tight goalless contest which saw some fantastic chances and saves by the keepers the match went to penalties and was won by Ran Elias’s team.
“It was a strange match,” Elias said. “But it was fun and I’m proud that both my team and Amir Sofer’s met in the final.”
Elias continued: “Next season the players will join forces on one club and there are many players that know that they won’t continue on. It’s not easy for them to stay mentally focussed and their are players who have been with the Club for six seasons and out of 60 players only 20 will remain. We looked at this competition as a big challenge and it’s not so simple to get the results we did from these two teams. We found out who the two best sides were and this was a good way for us to finish off the year.”
One could see how closely knit the two sides are: “The teams faced off against each other but once the last penalty went into the goal we were one team once again. Even when the penalties were taking place the players were standing as one. It’s really amazing how tight these two groups are. Even the warmups before the match the two sides were together. At the end of the day Maccabi was the big winner and we can all be proud of guys.”

Medunjanin was joined by Gal Alberman and Nosa Igiebor while a defensive quartet of Eli Dasa, Eitan Tibi, Carlos Garcia and Avi Rikan played just behind them. Dor Micha, Tal Ben Chaim and Captain Eran Zahavi provided the offense up front while Serbian keeper Predrag Rajikovic took his usual place in goal.
The match opened up as a pretty physical affair for the first 20 minutes as each side collected foils aplenty with only one chance which occurred in the 10th minute as Eyal Meshumar almost scored an own goal. In the 22nd minute Ben Chaim took a wonderful ball on the left side of the box but his effort went wide right of the goal.
Just a minute later, Shoval Gozlan received a deep ball that beat the Maccabi defense but his opportunity went over Rajikovic’s goal as the action began heating up in both sides of the pitch. Tens minutes later, Zahavi had his first chance of the evening but his attempt went over the goal after the whole team got in on the act. Ben Chaim began the play, sent the ball to Micha who handed it off to Rikan and then to the Captain who put it over the bar.
However, the Greens got onto the board first as Hen Ezra put home a Ludovic Obraniak free kick to give Haifa a 1:0 lead. Micha gave Zahavi a chance to even it up in the 40th minute but his unbelievable header effort was saved midair on the line by Haifa keep Vladimir Stoykovich to keep his clean sheet intact as the sides headed into the break with Haifa clinging onto a one goal lead.
Maccabi had fantastic chance to begin the second half as Zahavi sent a ball through the Haifa box but found no one home to take advantage. Medunjanin had his scorcher stopped by Stoykovich in the 48th minute as the Yellow & Blue threw everything they had at the Greens trying to find the equalizer in the early going of half number two.
Igiebor had a brilliant opportunity to score in the 57th minute but couldn’t handle Rikan’s pinpoint pass as his effort went out. With Maccabi maintaining possession it was Ezra of Haifa in the 70th minute who had a chance to double his side’s score but his screamer went wide right of the goal.
A minute later Peter Bosz made him first substitute of the match inserting Eliel Peretz in favor of Alberman. Ben Chaim’s 75th minute curler couldn’t find the back of the goal as the Maccabi faithful continued cheering their heroes on while Bosz made his second substitute introducing Barak Itzhaki for Igiebor.
With seven minutes until full time, Maccabi made their third and final substitute of the match brining in Eden Ben Basat for Garcia. However, it wouldn’t be enough on this night as Haifa wrapped up the 1:0 win and took home the Israel State Cup.
