Referees: Beltrano, Colonna and Cristiano appointed in Youth League
As many as three San Marino match officials were on duty last night in the UEFA Youth League, the continental competition for Under-19 club sides. Taking charge of the tie between HSK and Žilina – played at the Bolt Stadium in Helsinki – was international referee Michele Beltrano, assisted by Ernesto Cristiano and Matteo Colonna. The young Finnish hosts claimed a clear 3-0 victory (goals by Siren, Barret and Haikala). In the closing stages, Beltrano also had to show a red card to Ben Sowah Adjei, a Žilina midfielder.
