How are the mighty fallen!
Five time winners – Brazil – are out of the FIFA U-20 World Cup after falling 3-2 to Israel in the quarter-finals played Saturday night at the San Juan Stadium.
After a goalless first half, Brazil opened scoring in the 56th minute through Marcos Leonardo. But four minutes later, Israel equalised through Anan Khalaili.
With nine minutes remaining in regulation time, Brazil regained the lead through Matheus Nascimento. But never say die! Israel responded two minutes later as Hamza Shibli responded with another equaliser that dragged the game into extra time.
In the 105th minute, Dor Turgeman scored the winner for Israel, becoming the first team to go into the semi-final.
