Jerusalem – 4, Rostov – 2

What some consider to be the two best soccer teams in Brooklyn met this past Sunday in a Flatbush arena to decide a winner.

Team Rostov, with captain Oze Hasis, opened up with Yehuda Lipkind scoring the first goal.

Rostov, determined to hold on to their lead was upset when Yaccov Adi from the team of Yerushalayim came right back with a goal of his own, tying the game.

“Not so fast,” said Yehuda Lipkind, and with the determination of an unyielding fighter pilot, he blasted a second goal, putting Rostov again in the lead where they planned on staying.

Captain Hadar Hasis foiled this plan by bringing about a tie with just minutes before half time.

Rabbi Harari led a short halftime talk to parents, friends and the athletes on increasing acts of goodness and kindness during Sfiras Ha’Omer.

With more than twenty minutes left in the game, Hadar Hasis and Leibish Hecht added points to the game.

After the 45 minutes of intense soccer action both teams came out on top, Yerushalayim- 4 – Rostov- 2, but Rostov never let down their guard and played with the courtesy and sportsmanship that makes them winners too!

“The skill and sportsmanship showed among the teams was incredible,” said one happy parent.
