Israel lost 1-0 to Uruguay in the semifinals of the FIFA U-20 World Championship. Anderson Duarte scored the only goal of the game in the 61st minute.

Israel has one more task left in its debut: the match for places 3-4, which will take place on Sunday at 20:30 against the loser of the parallel semi-final between Italy and South Korea. Eli Madmon was replaced by Ran Binyamin, reacted angrily and shouted at Ofir Haim. The captain went down to the bench in great frustration.
