Israel Youth Team Secures Crucial Euro Qualifier Win with Dafa's Stunning Assist
Israel's U21 national team achieved a vital 2-1 victory over Slovenia in a European Championship qualifier on Tuesday, thanks to a spectacular assist from Daniel Dafa. In one of his first touches of the ball, the Hapoel Tel Aviv forward executed a remarkable backheel flick from mid-air to set up former teammate Ran Benjamin for an uncontested goal.
This remarkable play marked Dafa's first assist of the current season, his first for the youth national team, and the third of his career. Dafa, who was not called up for the March international window, is making his return to significant playing time, having last appeared as a substitute against Norway on November 14.
The win is a significant boost for the Israeli youth team in their quest to qualify for the European Championship.
