The ball bounces in the net. Raebiger, who thrives in the second round, puts it through perfectly to Bischof. The ten has only the goalkeeper in front of him and can push in from 15 meters. But Bischof was previously offside and the goal doesn’t count.
53
20:10
The national team started well in the second round. Raebiger can dribble through the penalty area. He passes three men and gets his foot on the five, but Ofek manages to save Melika again. The Israeli keeper makes a really strong game.
51
20:08
Weiper has the first big chance in the second half! Ibrahimović makes up space on the left and puts it through nicely to Weiper. The young striker goes into the penalty area and shoots from a tight angle from 13 meters out. Melika is there again and can parry.
48
20:04
Marc-Patrick Meister made the first change at the break. Laurin Ulrich, who was rather pale today, stays in the dressing room. In return, Samuele di Benedetto comes into the game.
46
20:02
Yellow card for Yan Yusupov (Israel)
Right at the beginning, Yan Yusupov goes in hard against Raebiger. Completely unnecessary action and legitimate yellow card.

Kick-off 2nd half

Mid-term conclusion:
At half-time between Germany and Israel it is 0-0 at half-time. It was an intense, even first half, with both teams needing time to adjust. The Israelis came in better and put pressure on Germany’s back line. But above all the central defense was safe and didn’t allow much. The Israelis often tried long-range shots, but they didn’t pose any great danger. It wasn’t until the final stages of the first half that Germany created any opportunities. First Ibrahimović failed at the Israeli goalkeeper (43rd) and a minute later Raebiger (44th). If the national team can build on this performance, we can expect an exciting second half. See you soon!
44
19:46
Raebiger has the next opportunity. After the corner kick, Israel cannot clarify decisively. So Raebiger gets the ball 20 meters from the box. He takes the ball down with his chest and hits it with his right hand. His finish comes well to the left corner, but Melika is there again and can hold.
43
19:44
Arijon Ibrahimović has the first real approach on goal for the national team. Bischof served a nice pass from Ibrahimović on the left in the box. From seven meters he tries to chip the ball over the keeper, but Melika can parry and clears the corner.
40
19:41
Yellow card for Philipp Schulz (Germany)
On the left, Schulz climbs in hard against Distalfeld and straddles him. For this he sees the legitimate yellow card.
38
19:40
Again, the Israelis come dangerously in front of goal. Zoabi beats two opponents down the left and brings a sharp cross in front of the goal. Seimen pays close attention and punches the ball out. Levi pulls from the second row about 23 meters in front of the goal and hits over the goal.
35
19:36
The Israelis try it mainly with long-range shots. Ben Harush captures the ball and then goes into the opponent’s half. He gains a few meters and shoots from 30 meters. However, his shot is harmless and goes two meters over the goal.
34
19:35
The Italians took the lead against Luxembourg. All the more important for Israel to score a goal.
33
19:33
The national team comes in better and often comes dangerously close to the sixteen. So far the big chance hasn’t been there, but they look safer now.
31
19:32
Tom Bischof plays a one-two with Weiper on the right corner of the sixteen and then looks for the end. He wants to throw the ball in from 18 meters, but warps clearly.
30
19:31
This time the Germans can combine well and have some space on the right. Bishof and Ibrahimović try to play their way into the box with a one-two, but Roee Levi is careful and grabs in between.
27
19:29
Levi has the next deal for Israel. After a throw-in, Distalfeld can claim the ball in the sixteen and puts it back on Levi. From a central position of 18 meters he shoots with the right and misses the right post by almost two meters.
26
19:27
Germany is stuck in the opposing half and is patiently waiting for a possible gap. But the Israelis are behind the ball with nine men and defend it very well and confidently.
23
19:25
The Germans lose the ball in their own half and Israel changes quickly. Over three stations they release Kretzo, who misses to get through to Yusupov. Then he lays down on Yehoshua, who hits it from 25 meters. His shot goes well over the goal, but Seimen is unhappy with his defense.
20
19:22
There is a lack of ideas going forward. Raebiger has the ball in the center and tries to leverage the back four with a high chip pass to Weiper. But his pass is too imprecise and ends up in goal.
18
19:19
Germany lacks access and through the many small mistakes they give Israel space to counter. Germany seems a bit too hesitant. Israel is now better in the game.
16
19:18
The first degree belongs to Israel. Deznet takes a shot from the left half field and saves it from 25 meters. His shot comes in the box and is deflected by Zoabi. As a result, he misses the goal by 2 meters.
15
19:16
The Israelis are waiting for switching situations. Schulz plays a bad pass in the build-up game and four players in blue immediately swarm out to overplay the defensive line. But Manuba is careful and intervenes.
12
19:13
Both teams are still struggling with initial uncertainties. Many small bad passes and inaccuracies radiate a certain nervousness on both sides. But there is also a lot at stake today!
10
19:11
Fritschi wants to hit a wide ball and shoots Kretzo. As a result, the ball comes almost perfectly into the barrel of Zoabi. But Seimen plays well and is well in front of his own goal. So he can defuse this unsuccessful action.
9
19:09
The Germans bring in calmness and clean up their attacks. Most of the time, however, the last pass is too imprecise and does not find a teammate.
6
19:07
The Israelis start boldly. They are looking for a quick way forward and at the front they want to put Zoabi in the limelight. So far, the central defenders around Fritschi and Buchmann are still coping well with it.
4
19:06
After an Israeli liberation, Zoabi is suddenly through. He goes into the penalty area and tries to play on Yusupov who is running with him. Fritschi is in between and can block the ball. Zoabi demands a punishable handball, but the arm was very close to the body and therefore certainly no penalty.
3
19:04
Azevedo intervenes offensively and comes down the left. He pulls in on the sixteen corner and tries to get through to Bischof. His pass, however, gets stuck.
1
19:02
The ball is rolling and Germany wants to get control of the game first. To do this, they let the ball run quietly around the back.
18:57
The players come out of the field and the national anthems sound. There are a variety of possible scenarios for how this Group A will end! We’re looking forward to what we hope will be an entertaining game. Referee Dario Bel will start the game at any moment.
18:48
In the 4-nation tournament last September, the German national team beat Israel 2-0. Even today, the young national team wants to bag a three-pointer against the hosts under floodlights and in a great atmosphere and make clear the associated group victory. It’s a special game for both teams.
18:43
The Israelis also switch to two positions. Ben Harush starts today as left-back for Agbaria. Distalfeld starts for Shabo on the left wing today.
18:42
Compared to the game against Luxembourg, Marc-Patrick Meister rotates to two positions. Schulz comes into midfield for di Benedetto. Paul Wanner will not start today for the time being. For him, Arijon Ibrahimović is in the starting lineup.
18:37
Israel, as the host team, would like to keep the chance of progressing. Currently, the Israelis are level on points with Italy (both three points) but are only in third place. After beating Luxembourg 3-0, they narrowly lost 1-0 to favored Italians. So Israel has to score today to maybe make a surprise advance.
18:18
After two convincing performances against Italy and Luxembourg, the national team has one foot in the quarter-finals. After the 3:2 win against the Italians they were able to beat Luxembourg 3:0 on Thursday. Marc-Patrick Meister’s team expects a strong opponent against the hosts from Israel. With a win, the Germans want to complete a flawless group stage.
15:47
Hello and welcome to the last group match at the U17 European Championship. The German national team meets the hosts from Israel. It starts at 19:00. The live ticker for this game starts just in time for the kick-off.
