The game was played in San Juan, where Nigeria had eliminated Argentina. After drawing a goal in regular time, they went into overtime, which started with everything: the South American team took the lead, but their rival quickly tied.
Israel, then, is unpredictable. He had never played in a World Cup in this category and in his first participation will finish in the top four: In his next match he will play the chance to qualify for the final or to get on the podium for third place. It will be historical as well.
Canarinha’s goals were scored by Marcos Leonardo y Matheus Nascimento while those of the team that plays UEFA competitions became Anan Khalaili, Hamza Sibley y Dor Turgeman.
The third was a great goal: with the ability of a Brazilianthe Maccabi Tel-Aviv striker snubbed a ball in the box, snubbed two defenders and unleashed a high left-footed shot that sparked a wild celebration.

This time Ahmad Ibrahim kicked him but his shot went wide.
