On the other hand, a draw against Germany (1:1) and a victory over the Czechs (1:0) was enough for the Israelis to enter the quarter-finals, but a place in the semi-finals was ensured by the success in the shootout (4:3) after a draw in regular time and overtime (0:0) against the host Georgia.
Also, the national teams of Spain and Ukraine met in the group stage, the match ended in a draw (2:2). The Spaniards also had victories over Romania (3:0) and Croatia (1:0), and the Ukrainians defeated both the Romanians (1:0) and the Croatians (2:0). The elimination tournament was started by the Spanish footballers with a victory in overtime over their Swiss peers (2:1), while the Ukrainian national team prevailed over France (3:1).
Reaching the semi-finals secured Spain, Ukraine and Israel participation in the football tournament for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Although there are three vacancies for Europe in football at the Paris Games, apart from the host France, the Olympic tickets have already been divided, as England cannot participate with a separate team in the Olympic tournament, where only the national teams play.
The winners of the semi-finals will compete in the title match on Saturday, July 8, in Batumi. You can also watch the final game live on LTV7 and LSM.lv.
