After the Swiss had taken an early lead, Bavidge levelled the game on 17 minutes, winning the ball back and then exchanging a nice one-two with a teammate to convert from inside the area. Brian McLaughlin's side then responded really well after the break, and scored twice through goals from Gabriel Forsyth and Bailey Rice as the game finished 4-4. The Scots will face the Swiss once again in two days time as they gear up for more fixtures in 2023. It caps off a remarkable few months for 16-year old Bavidge, who has been scoring goals for fun for Aberdeen's U18 side, including hat-tricks against St Mirren and Dundee United already this season.
