Eli Guttman has some major decisions to make ahead of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign after Israel were beaten 3-1 by Slovakia in a friendly.

Guttman opted for youth - with Yossi Benayoun not selected - but their fans in Netanya were left frustrated after a lacklustre performance.

Martin Jakubko put the visitors ahead eight minutes before the break and the lead was doubled by Jan Durica on 69 minutes.

Super-sub Maor Buzaglo capped an excellent cameo with the goal of the game 10 mintues from time, but sloppy defending allowed Robert Mak to settle the contest.
