Israel's U19 youth national team achieved a dramatic 2-1 victory against Romania on Saturday in the second round of the U19 European Championship qualifiers. The team, coached by Ofir Haim, was on the verge of losing more points but secured their first tournament win thanks to late goals from Liam Loski in the 85th minute and Ido Yosef in stoppage time.
Both teams entered the match following opening-round losses, making the game crucial for both. Israel fell behind but managed to rally late in the game. Loski equalized in the 85th minute, and Yosef completed the comeback with the winning goal in the 90+3 minute.
The win moved Israel to three points in the standings, while Romania remains scoreless after two matches. However, Israel's campaign is overshadowed by an incident in their first game against Ukraine. Israel lost that match 3-2 after conceding two late goals, but it was later revealed that Ofir Haim made six substitutions instead of the allowed five. UEFA is investigating the matter, and there is concern the team could face a technical defeat, despite already losing on the field.
