‘Baby Sheva’ Kostyuk scores hat-trick for Milan U13 in derby win against Inter

Andrea Kostyuk was the big hero for AC Milan’s U13 side this weekend, bagging a hat-trick in the 3-1 win against city rivals Inter. As expected, the ‘Baby Sheva’ continues to find the back of the net. 

We first did an article on Kostyuk – who is Italian-Ukrainian – back in April of this year and at that point, he had scored 238 goals in 41 games. Granted that more goals are scored at these age classes, this is still very impressive.

The 12-year-old has continued to find the back of the net since and in the U13’s derby clash against Inter this weekend, he bagged a hat-trick. In the game before that, a 6-0 win against Monza, he bagged a brace and the list keeps on going.

Seeing the recent success of Francesco Camarda, who also attracted a lot of attention during his rise through the youth ranks, we could be witnessing another great development. For now, though, he remains a player to keep an eye on.

Speaking of Camarda, he has also been called up for the game against Napoli on Tuesday as Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic are yet to recover from their injuries. Perhaps he will get another appearance off the bench.
