EUROPEAN MACCABI GAMES - U18 FOOTBALL
GB 3 USA 0

Simon Zamet insists Team Maccabi GB are taking nothing for granted after they cruised to a 3-0 victory in the their opening match of the under-18 football competition.

Adam Burchell calmed any early nerves by winning a penalty which he converted. He was off the field moments later as Adam Ellis was sent crashing in the penalty area, so the former Shacharit Donetsk hotshot showed ice-cool nerves to double GB's advantage.

USA battled valiantly in the second half, although a late goalkeeping error was capitalised on by Harry Marlow who made no mistake from close range.
