U20 World Cup heartbreak for Brazil and Marquinhos

Marquinhos' hopes of U20 World Cup glory were scuppered as Brazil suffered an extra-time loss to Israel in the quarter-finals of the competition.

Following a goalless first half, the Selecao were the first to strike before the hour mark through Marcos Leonardo. Israel responded almost immediately, however, as El-Yam Kancepolsky's soaring cross was met by Anan Khalaili's terrific leaping header.

It remained 1-1 when the whistle blew on 90 minutes, forcing the two sides to duke it out further in extra time. Brazil took less than 30 seconds to retake the lead with a sublime team goal - acrobatic passes and rapid footwork giving Matheus Nascimento the perfect opportunity to strike.
