Israel’s soccer team loses 2-4 to Paraguay during a match in Paris at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Omri Gandelman and Oscar Gloukh scored the two goals for Israel.
The team’s first game against Mali earlier this week ended in a 1-1 tie. Israel will face Japan on Tuesday evening in its final game of the qualifier round, which will determine if it advances to the knockout stage of the competition.
