Israel U-21 Team Falls Behind on Controversial Slovenia Goal in Euro Qualifiers
The Israeli U-21 national football team conceded an early goal in a crucial Euro 2021 qualifying match against Slovenia on Tuesday, putting their playoff hopes in jeopardy. The goal, scored in the 7th minute by Dino Kolić, was highly controversial, with Israeli players and staff strongly contesting a potential offside call.
Video replays showed Kolić deflecting a pass from Slovenia's Mitja Ilanič into the net. Following the goal, both Israeli and Slovenian players approached the linesman, urging him to signal for offside. However, the referee ultimately allowed the goal to stand.
Adding to Israel's woes, goalkeeper Ofek Malcha received a yellow card immediately after the controversial goal. The team, managed by Guy Luzon, now faces an uphill battle to secure a win and advance closer to the Euro playoffs.
The article urges readers to watch the goal and replays to judge the controversial call for themselves.
