Svilar leads way to European Championship U17

GAMES - YOUTH Mile Svilar once again showed his great skills to the rest of Europe. The Anderlecht goalie was the man of the match in this afternoon's match between Belgium U17 and Spain U17. He stopped two penalty kicks and lead the way to the European Championship in Azerbeidjan.

The group winner of the elite round was qualified for the European Championship. Only problem was that the match between Belgium and Spain ended on a 0-0 score, so penalty kicks had to point out who was qualified. Mile Svilar became the star for Belgium: he stopped two penalty kicks and Belgium won with 4-3.

Anderlecht players Svilar, Foulon, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Hannes Delcroix and Milan Corryn played the entire match. Mike Trésor Ndayishimiye went off the pitch after seventy minutes.

The European Championship takes place in Azerbeidjan from 8 until 21 May with sixteen teams. The draw is on 8 April.
