Israel slipped to their second home defeat in the space of four days as an early strike from Marouane Fellaini lifted Belgium to the top of Group B.

Having produced a bitterly disappointing performance in the 3-0 loss against Wales in Haifa, Eli Guttman's men put in a much-improved display in Jerusalem, but they could find no way past Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the away goal.

Guttman made several changes to the team who were ultimately outclassed by Wales on Saturday, with Celtic midfielder Nir Bitton, Ben Sahar and Tomer Hemed all starting on Tuesday night.
