Norway score in injury time to earn a 2-2 draw with hosts Israel in the opening match of the Under-21 European Championship.

Norway have scored a late equalised to earn a 2-2 draw with hosts Israel in their opening match of the Under-21 European Championship.

The hosts took the lead against the run of play in the 19th minute when Nir Bitton converted from the penalty spot after a foul by Omar Elabdellaoui.

However, Norway netted an equaliser six minutes later as Marcus Pedersen showed plenty of strength in the area before firing into the bottom corner.

The Norwegians then hit the woodwork twice in quick succession through Anders Konradssen and Jo Inge Berget.

An eventful opening half finished with a red card as Vegar Eggen Hedenstad was dismissed for bringing down Mohammad Kalibat.

Konradsen rattled the post again five minutes after the break before Israel went ahead again with 15 minutes left thanks to Alon Turgeman's precise volley.

The hosts looked to have earned themselves a victory, but Norway secured a share of the spoils in the first minute of injury time when Harmeet Singh lashed in a first-time effort from 20 yards.
