The talented teenager made a strong run into the box after a well-placed long ball, evading two defenders before expertly placing the ball into the net.
His goal came just two minutes before halftime. Mateo Biondic added a second goal before the break, and Ondřej Kričfaluši sealed the win with a third goal in the 59th minute.
