U12 teams show their skills

It also became particularly exciting for the U12 of the young lions from Munich, which started the tournament with mixed feelings. After a 0-0 against Guntamatic Ried and a 0-2 defeat against WSG Tyrol, the team, trained by Rui Menezes, had to increase its performance. And they did it impressively. In the semifinals they defeated FC Wacker Innsbruck 2-0 and moved into the final.

The first two games were devastating, but the trainer knows: "In the lost games we showed the better performance, only the goals didn't want to fall." It was a successful farewell for many players who switched to the U13. Rui Menezes, however, remains the U12 and is happy about the triumphal success.
