The blue-and-white slipped by the Czech Republic 1-0 thanks to an 82nd-minute goal by midfielder Omri Gandelman to move into the knockout round. 

The victory, coupled with England’s 2-0 win over Germany, sent Guy Luzon’s squad into ecstasy as the Israelis will now face the tournament host, Georgia, on Saturday in the quarterfinals
