Young footballer makes Australia Cup history with debut at age 14
Cannons fall to 5-2 semi-final defeat to Macarthur
With the Victorian semi-pro side’s run about to be ended by Macarthur, who were leading 5-2 in the dying minutes, Cannons’ coach Chris Taylor took the chance to give Abili, who usually plays for their Under-14s, his moment.Taking him off the bench at Oakleigh’s Jack Edwards Reserve, the youngster could not keep the smile off his face as he was told to replace experienced keeper Lewis Italiano, who is over twice Abili’s age at 31.
And asked if he perhaps should have been brought on earlier, he shrugged with a smile, “I don’t know ... [it was] Chris Taylor’s call, not mine!”
