Tom Turesson gave Sweden the lead early in the second half, but Mordechai Spiegler equalised just six minutes later. Both teams created chances but could not find a winner in the midday heat.
Trivia This match was played at altitude in Toluca, with the heat and thin air challenging both teams. The draw left both sides with hopes of advancing, but ultimately neither would progress from the group. Mordechai Spiegler’s goal remains Israel’s only World Cup goal to date.MATCH SUMMARY
