The Israeli national team lost 5:4 to Italy in the World Cup qualifiers. During the match, Israel led twice, came back from 4:2 to 4:4 with two goals in two minutes, and two minutes later conceded a decisive goal in added time. The “home” defeat in Debrecen, Hungary, dropped the team to third place in Group 9 after five matches. The team received approval from UEFA to wear black armbands on the arms of players and coaching staff in memory of the six people killed in the severe shooting attack that occurred this morning at Ramot Junction in Jerusalem.
