In front of almost 4,000 fans at the Stadio Alfredo Viviani in Potenza, the U18s lost 1-0 to Hungary. The matchwinner for Szabolcs Kemene’s side was Ajax forward Bendegúz Kovács who scored in the 73rd minute.

Daniele Francheschini: “I don’t like to lose, especially after having faced a game with the right attitude and dominated the play. We created many chances but we weren’t clinical up front. Overall, I am happy with the lads’ mentality, including some new faces who looked good”.
