Title ISRAEL'S SOCCER HEROES RETURN HOME.
Scope and content The making of history is no longer the preserve of the Government these days. The Israel national soccer side on Wednesday October 13 performed its own earth-shattering feat. People have been comparing the 3-2 victory over the French to the 1960 victory over the Yugoslavs or 1990's achievements in the oceanic Group of The World Cup qualifiers. But really there is no comparison. The French - who will almost certainly recover from their defeat by Israel and qualify for next year's Finals in the USA - are a world class side more than capable of competing with the very best. In a hard-fought match the Israelis went 1-0 up after 21 minutes only to lose their lead 7 minutes later and to go into the half¬time break losing 2-1. But in a tense and exciting finish, with seven minutes to go, Israel equalised. In the dying seconds Maccabi Haifa star Reuven Atar scored the winner, but it was the kind of goal to which no description could do justice - a perfect textbook shot. The Israeli team returned from Paris the following day to an absolutely rapturous reception by family, friends, fans and the country's media representatives. Photo shows: The photograph shows Israel soccer hero Reuven Atar with his mother (right) and wife (left) upon arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, the day after scoring the winning goal in a historic 3-2 victory over France in a World Cup qualifying match.
