Israel, who faced Brazil 1-1 until the 90th minute of regular time, conceded a goal at the start of the first half of extra time. In the 3rd minute of extra time, Hamza Sybil scored to turn the game around. Then, in extra time in the first half of extra time, Dor Truman scored a dramatic rebound goal.
Israel, who became a ‘typhoon’ as soon as they made their debut in this tournament, scored a dramatic goal in extra time in the second half of the day following the third group game against Japan and the round of 16 against Uzbekistan.
The tournament was originally supposed to be held in Indonesia. The location was suddenly changed to Argentina as Indonesia objected to the entry of Israeli athletes for religious reasons. Israel, who participated time and time again, managed to reach the semi-finals by repeatedly writing an unbelievable ‘theatrical goal play’.
