Israel 7 Estonia 0, January 18th 1999

Israel crushed an outplayed Estonia side in this Tel Aviv freindly on Monday night.

The home team hit five goals in the first half alone but the Estonian visitors offered little in the way of attack.

They were forced to chase the game in the 17th minute when Avi Nimni scored a penalty after Shalom Tikva had been brought down from behind in the penalty area. Tikva converted a low cross after 29 minutes after a spell of brief Estonian pressure but they failed to get any shots on target. Tal crossed for Harazi to head high into the net on 32 minutes and Harazi hit his second five minutes later when he jumped to claim another header.

Nimni produced a neat finish as the visitors defence was scattered by a Mizrahi free kick to end the first half scoring in the absence of highly regarded striker Haim Revivo who was not released to play in the match.

The second half took on all the laziness of an exhibition game as Israeli coach Shlomo Scharf made eight substitutions and no more goals were scored until the last ten minutes when two low shots by Shitrit and Talasnikov ended an emphatic win.
