U16 missed out on winning the 2015 Next Generation Trophy after losing 4-3 on penalties to hosts FC Red Bull Salzburg.
Coach Sadiq Abubakar’s side looked powerless after inspirational Aminu Mohammed broke his wrist two minutes into the match.
This affected the team and gave the hosts a field day and the Young Bulls set the tone from the start in the eagerly awaited final, getting the first big chance via their captain, Wallquist.
After Antosch denied a good opportunity for Adem, Ralf Santelli’s team got a deserved opening goal with Anselm.
In the second half, the Africans were able to equalise with a speculative shot from Iyeki.
With the game drawn 1-1, a penalty shoot-out would decide who would get their hands on the trophy.
The Young Bulls had the better of it thanks to two penalty saves from Antosch.
