Israel U-20 missed two penalties against Brazil in the World Cup quarter-finals – and still managed to make history.
Israel’s under-20 team advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Argentina with a 3-2 extra-time victory over top favorites Brazil. Dor David Turgemann scored the winning goal in spectacular fashion in the 105th minute.
Then, Eli Madmon and Ahmed Ibrahim could have made it clear with a penalty – but they just couldn’t find the ball, leaving Israel trembling until the final whistle.
Semi-finals in the premiere
Afterwards, jubilation was great, including commentator Jonathan Cohen of Israeli TV station Kan 11: “You’ll tell your kids about this night! They’ll tell your grandchildren! Israel beats Brazil!” he shouted into the microphone, “You’re having a once-in-a-lifetime night of football like this.” .
Israel, who qualified for the U-20 World Cup for the first time, will face Uruguay or the United States in the semi-finals.
