The international tournament Al Abtal for young footballers under 19 belongs to the exceptionally strong ones, as confirmed by this year’s edition, which includes teams like Real Madrid, Benfica, Juventus, Monaco, Lisbon’s Sporting, Villarreal, Roma, Fenerbahçe, Panathinaikos, Nottingham Forest, Almeria, and others. Also proving themselves in this tournament, which began last year, is Dinamo, achieving excellent results, aided on Wednesday by the young and promising Slovenian footballer Sven Šunta.
Dinamo has already topped their group, facing both Benfica and last year’s winner Real Madrid, which was enough to reach the semifinals. In the latter, Zagreb faced the Spanish club Leganes, defeated them, and advanced to the semifinals, where they will face the winner of the Monaco – Benfica match. Against Leganes, Sven Šunta shone, contributing significantly to Dinamo’s victory with two goals.
The match ended in regular time with a 3-3 draw, followed by penalty kicks. The Croatian club executed the penalty kicks more accurately, ultimately winning 4-2. Even the calm nerves of the only 16-year-old Sven Šunta held during the lottery, scoring one of Dinamo’s four penalty kicks.
