Sindre Walle Egeli scored once and won two penalties as Norway’s U21s beat Israel 3-0 in a European Championship qualifier in Hungary this evening.

Walle Egeli was fouled for the spot-kick from which Niklas Ødegård netted the Norwegians’ first goal in the 12th minute, bagged the second himself a minute after the restart, then was fouled for another penalty just after the hour, before being replaced on 85.

The 19-year-old, who has ambitions to break into the senior Norway squad for next summer’s World Cup finals, was winning his ninth U21s cap with the goal his fourth at that level.

Norway have moved to the top of their group courtesy of the win having played a game fewer than the Netherlands in second and Bosnia Herzegovina, who they travel to face on Tuesday, in third.

The nine group winners plus the best group runner-up qualify directly for the tournament which will be held in Albania and Serbia in 2027, while the eight other group runners-up go into play-offs for the last four places.

Elsewhere, Blues forward Josh Pitts came on as a 72nd-minute substitute for Malta’s U21s as they were beaten 6-0 by Germany in Furth to remain bottom of their group.

Pitts, 18, who joined the Blues in January from Southampton following a successful trial, was winning his fourth U21s cap.

armchaircritic59 added 00:51 - Nov 15 Bobble, while I understand your view point and in another arena would support it, sport and politics should be kept apart. The best way to show what anybody may think, is to knock them out as quickly as possible, and that doesn't just go for Israel!

bobble added 01:01 - Nov 15 Dont hear many of you calling for russia to re admitted though, if you truly believe that nations that commit war crimes and attrocities shouldnt be banned from football tournaments.....?

shropshiretractor added 09:01 - Nov 15 Can bobble be removed please? No place for anti semitism here. Keep your drivel to your mates when it's the time and the place. Great to see Walle doing so well, but I can't see how he can make the full squad, and if he does, how he would get a game... Seems late in the game now

Sambo added 09:15 - Nov 15 Lets have it righr, Bobbles comments were not Anti semetic, there was no mention of faith, only about a nation whos government has carried out horrendous war crimes and genocide.

shropshiretractor added 09:17 - Nov 15 Sambo, now you're just adding subjective political narrative. Keep it to football. This is a football forum

Bluearmy_81 added 13:09 - Nov 15 Israel have murdered the equivalent of a classroom full of children every single day for the last 750 days. Just let that sink in before you have a go at bobble. We’re talking about REAL human beings

shropshiretractor added 17:54 - Nov 15 Bluearmy_81, you seem to be lacking a factual understanding of what has happened and seem to enjoy being convinced by tabloid drivel and TikTok... Keep your ridiculous opinions to your social media pages and your mates down the bookies... Comment on football and if you don't care about football then I question why you're on this site.

armchaircritic59 added 18:39 - Nov 15 Hey guys, let's all just remember this is a football site. I'm sure many of us have our views on the middle east and other things, as I most certainly do, but this is not the best place to air them.

Bluearmy_81 added 19:58 - Nov 15 Shropshire- what drivel, that’s me along with the International criminal court the international court of Justice, the United Nations, Doctors without borders and Amnesty International then?!

bobble added 20:18 - Nov 15 From the comments on here its pretty clear that support for democracy and human rights and stamping out racism is at a very low level amongst town fans which is a shame, i thought football was a sport to unite people....

Gcon added 18:54 - Nov 16 Sorry, ShropshireTarctor, would you care to explain how the well documented slaughter of 70,000 people (largely women and children) is a 'tabloid/ TikTok' conspiracy?

OsbourneOneNil added 14:48 - Nov 17 I agree with Bobble, Gcon and Bluearmy_81, its clear the Israeli government have committed genocide (and Bluearmy_81 does a good job of listing the evidence). However I would also agree this is a football site so perhaps as outlined in the advisory at the end of this page: "Please keep News Comments on topic. To make wider points, visit the forum". I would suggest that this discussion would be best played out in the forum rather than on a post about one of Ipswich's players.

StowTractor added 17:24 - Nov 17 I was going to try to stick to football & avoid the politics but in reply to Bobble's last comment there is only 1 functioning democracy in the middle east & its flag's colour is blue and white & not red, black, green & white. Now onto the football. Well done Sindre on your goal, out performed Harland at this age group I believe. Hope to see some goals for Town from him soon, and more crosses like the ones against QPR & Watford.

Bluearmy_81 added 20:42 - Nov 17 Israel have slaughtered tens of thousands of children, quite intentionally, sniped children in the head on a daily basis, used children for target practice ( international doctors have noticed different patterns of wounding, for example stomach one week, groin the next,) but it’s all ok as in Stow’s world they’re a “democracy.” How sick is that…
