Internationals | Manor's Israel so close to big win, youngsters on duty for England

Manor Solomon created a late chance that might have led to a huge goal in UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying for Israel against Romania on Saturday evening.

Both teams are scrapping it out with leaders Switzerland in qualifying Group I with Manor's Israel third at start of play, a point behind Romania and three adrift of the Swiss.

Romania took the lead through Denis Alibec after 27 minutes in Bucharest. Israel levelled via Oscar Gloukh on 53 minutes and pushed on for a win. In the last minute, Manor, right side of the box, played in Gavriel Kanichowsky, whose shot was blocked by Romania goalkeeper Horatiu Moldovan.

Manor completed the 90 minutes as it stayed 1-1 and with Switzerland held 2-2 by Kosovo, it's as you were in Group I with five of the 10 matches played.

Elsewhere in Euro 2024 qualifying, Guglielmo Vicario was an unused substitute with Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal as Italy drew against North Macedonia in England's Group C. England look out of sight with 13 points out of 15 so far and Italy have it all to do to overhaul Ukraine, currently second.

In Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, Pape Sarr didn't feature as Senegal drew 1-1 against Rwanda - they remain unbeaten and top of Group L.

Elsewhere, Alfie Dorrington started and completed the 90 and Ashley Phillips came off the bench in the second half as England Under-19s beat Switzerland 4-2 at Oliva Nova, Spain. Jamie Donley and Luca Gunter were unused substitutes. Meanwhile, Mikey Moore and Callum Oluesi both entered the action in the second half as England Under-17s drew 1-1 against Morocco  in the Pinatar Arena Supercup in Spain.
