The amazing audience in Göttingen once more captivated the ‘Violets’.

Great performances of the ‘Violets’

The game between the teams of the 2018 final was for many the early end game in which Aleksandar Jukic & Co rose above the Red Devils. The end result was 5-1, the final goal was scored by the 15-year-old Muharem Huskovic, who was one of the youngest players in the tournament.

In the semi-final, the ‘Violets’ had to accept their 2-4 defeat after a great fight against FV Brügge. After an early lead by Brügge Austria Wien scored a regular goal but it was disallowed. Afterwards the team was a bit distracted, the Belgians moved into the final.

Praise from Manchester United and Brügge
