TONY COHEN MEMORIAL TROPHY SEMI-FINAL, 2ND LEG

LEEDS MACCABI 1 MACCABI MANCHESTER BLUE 2 (Manchester won 4-3 on aggregate)

This second-leg tie was nicely set up after the first meeting finished 2-2. After a closely fought first half that ended 0-0, Manchester took the lead early in the second half, as the impressive Max Rose played a pinpoint ball into the path of Danny Stapleton, who lobbed the Leeds keeper from the edge of the box.

Manchester doubled their lead a few minutes later when midfield maestro Jordan Kaye crossed a free-kick on to the head of the onrushing centre-back Carl Peters, who expertly guided his header into the corner, for his second goal in two games.
