U13s cruise to the final of Lennart Johansson tournament
PAOK U13s are so impressive that even the commentator of their match had to admit: “They are just too good!”.
The “Double-Headed Eagle” made light work of their matches at renowned Lennart Johansson tournament and qualified for the final. In their last and theoretically tougher encounter in their group, they prevailed 1-0 over Juventus.
Having impressed with their 5-0 victory over hosts AIK in the morning match of Saturday, they also defeated Juventus in the afternoon thanks to a strike by Tzolis in the 45th minute. Their rival in the final will most probably be SK Rapid Wien who play later in the day and need one point to qualify.
