Cyprus defeat Israel to confirm qualification for Wales

Cyprus defeat Israel 2-1 to confirm Wales's qualification for Euro 2016.

Two late goals have given Cyprus a 2-1 win over Israel, and has confirmed Wales qualification for Euro 2016.

Israel dominated the first half, but Eran Zahavi, Eli Dasa and Omri Ben Harush failed to convert their chances.

Zahavi then had a shot saved shortly after the start of the second half and Tal Ben Haim missed the target.

Dossa Junior made Israel pay in the 58th minute when he headed into the bottom-right corner from Vincent Laban's cross.

Orel Dgani and Moanes Dabour both had chances to equalise but could not direct the ball goalwards.

Celtic midfielder Nir Bitton equalised in the 76th minute when his 35-yard rocket flew into the top corner.

The scores were level for just four minutes though as Jason Demetriou curled the ball into the net from 20 yards to give Cyprus the victory.

The win maintains Cyprus's hopes of reaching the playoffs.
