the match
More than 4000km from Paris, our youngsters were looking to build on their opening-match success against Juventus (5-3).
They did so, despite the heat in Israel with Noah Lemina putting them in front early, drilling home before the quarter-hour mark from just outside the box (0-1, 14'). Two minutes later, Ismaël Gharbi found the net (0-2, 16') to double the lead and give Zoumana Camara's side a comfortable half-time advantage. Five minutes into the second half, Gharbi won and then scored a penalty (0-3, 50') before Lemina joined him in recording a brace thanks to Yoram Zague's cut-back (0-4, 60'). To cap a fine team display came some individual brilliance from Ilyes Housni, who rounded both a defender and the goalkeeper before scoring his team's fifth (0-5, 66').
With two wins from two and 10 goals scored, the U19 team head Group H.
