Report: England MU17s 0-0 Israel

England men's Under-17s were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Israel in Duisburg.

The first half was a quiet affair, with the Young Lions dominating possession but struggling to create clear-cut opportunities.

Ryan McAidoo was at the heart of their best efforts but was unable to prevent a goalless opening period.

The second period followed a similar pattern, with the Young Lions unable to break down stubborn opponents.

A flurry of substitutions from boss Neil Ryan were designed to make the breakthrough but the game eventually ended goalless.

England are back in action against Germany in Duisburg on Tuesday.
