Azerbaijan 1 - Israel 1

Azerbaijan made the trek to Ramat Gan to face off against Israel.  Israel had the better of the possession in the first half, yet it would be Azerbaijan who twice forced saves out of Israel goalkeeper Dudu Aouate (pictured, yellow).  The half ended as it began, 0-0.

A sloppy Israel team were made to pay shortly after the hour mark.  Rahid Amirguliyev picked up a long rebound and decided to have a go from thirty yards.  The result was a wonder goal to put Azerbaijan ahead 1-0.  Israel then threw more men into attack.  Lior Refaelov advanced the ball up the pitch for Israel and then hit a through ball out left for Ofir Davidzada.  Davidzada quickly passed laterally to an open Itay Schechter, who managed to get enough on the ball to push it into the goal for the equalizer.  Israel could not find a second goal, so the match ends in a 1-1 draw that does Israel no real good in the chase for Brasil 2014.
