Israel's youth national soccer team secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Romania on Saturday in the second match of the U-19 European Championship qualifiers. The team, coached by Ofir Haim, came from behind with late goals from Liam Luski in the 85th minute and Ido Yosef in stoppage time (90+3) to complete a significant turnaround.
Both teams entered the game seeking their first points after losing their opening matches, making this encounter particularly crucial. Israel fell behind but managed to rally in the closing stages. Luski equalized in the 85th minute, and Yosef scored the winning goal just before the final whistle.
The win moves Israel to three points in the standings, while Romania remains without points after two games. However, the team's campaign is overshadowed by an ongoing investigation by UEFA regarding an irregular substitution in their first match against Ukraine. Israel lost that game 3-2 after conceding two late goals, but it was later discovered that Haim had made six substitutions instead of the permitted five. There is a concern that Israel may face a technical defeat in that match, despite already losing on the field.
