Manor Solomon set up one of Israel\u2019s goals in a breathless 5-4 defeat to Guglielmo Vicario\u2019s Italy in a crunch 2026 World Cup qualifying match in Group I on Monday night.<\/p>\n
The attacker – on loan at Spanish side Villarreal, our opening UEFA Champions League opponents – assisted his nation’s second goal scored by Dor Peretz in the 52nd minute which put Israel 2-1 up at the time, after Moise Kean had cancelled out Manuel Locatelli\u2019s own goal.<\/p>\n
In a game played at the Nagyerdei Stadium in Debrecen, Hungary, Kean scored again for 2-2 and Italy netted twice more through Matteo Politano and Giacomo Raspadori to take a two-goal advantage in the closing stages.<\/p>\n
The home side battled back though, Alessandro Bastoni putting through his own net while Peretz thought he\u2019d salvaged a point with a dramatic 89th minute equaliser, only for Sandro Tonali to score the winner in the first minute of stoppage time.<\/p>\n
The result sees the Azzurri, for whom Vicario remained an unused substitute, climb above Israel into second place, with group leaders Norway sitting three points ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manor Solomon set up one of Israel\u2019s goals in a breathless 5-4 defeat to Guglielmo Vicario\u2019s Italy in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123938,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-123937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
