Israel started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. Lineup: Kline - Eitan, Izhar, Kashtan, Cohen - Rachimi, Erez, Cohen, Tsuriel, Sarusi - Cohen.
Israel strategy involved pressing and cutting off attack angles of their opponents from all over the field. The teams went for a half-time break at 0 - 0. USA held the ball, with a clear 63 percent possession rate.
Nathan Longoriaīs speed was almost enough to giveUSA a goal after 59 minutes, but his nice pass toEdward Martinez was not taken care of properly. The referee showed Israels Kfir Kashtan the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Dennis Head the unlucky victim, couldnīt continue the game, so Bryan Isaacs had to come off the bench. Some beautiful plays on the left side of the field resulted in a 76:th minute goal by Mikey Willard for USA, putting them ahead 1 - 0. A speedy charge from the left side of the field put USA lead up with 2 - 0. Derrick Gentile finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by USA, with an impressive 63 percent possession of the ball.
USAīs best player was Cornelius Moss. However, Nathan Longoria made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Israel player was without a doubt Tsafrir Kline. Vlad Sarusi on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
