Israel stun Brazil 3-2 to qualify for U20 World Cup semis

A tightly contested encounter saw Israel come back from behind twice before grabbing the shock victory through Dor Turgeman's brilliant solo strike. After a scoreless first half at the Bicentenario stadium, Brazil, five-times winners of the tournament, broke through in the 56th minute on Marcos Leonardo's superbly-taken, first-time left-foot shot.

Anan Khalaili brought Israel level, delighting a largely pro-Israel crowd in the stands. But Israel's hopes dimmed just 20 seconds into extra time, when Andrey Santos set up Matheus Nascimento to restore Brazil's lead.

Just two minutes later, however, Hamza Shibli equalized, tapping in a low ball from Ilay Feingold at the back post to make it 2-2. The decisive goal came, near the end of the first period of extra-time, when Turgeman collected the ball on the edge of the box, jinked cleverly past two defenders and then fired past Kaique Pereira.
