Academy finished second in the four team group owing ton inferior goal difference – play Israel’s most recognized club Maccabi Tel Aviv FC’s U-17 Boys in a cross final match tomorrow (August 10, 2014). The winner of the tie will take on the winner of this group’s topper FC Volendam and the other group’s runners-up AZ Alkmaar.
While Maccabi Tel Aviv topped the other group winning two of their matches 7-0 and playing out a 1-1 draw against Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar.
The format of the U-17 section (B-Juniors) of the International Youth Tournament (HSV Odin 59’ Heemskerk) is a eight team affair with two groups of four followed by cross finals for the places 1-8. This essentially means that top two teams of two groups face each other in a crisscross manner with winners playing in the final and losers in a third fourth place clash.
Similarly the rest of the teams follow suit. Matches are of 50-minute duration with tie in the games for the places 3-8 going into penalties. Only the final has extra time of 15-minute duration if required.
So we are suddenly so good after pretty poor show against the Asians. When I see such inconsistencies, I look for other explanations. That said, happy for the exposure part. for the result part, will make some enquiries
