		Two spectacular goals from midfielder Yossi Benayoun saved Israel while the Swiss recovered from an early deficit with two strikes midway through the first half to take the lead through Alexander Frei and Johan Vonlanthen.
		Benayoun opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a superb solo effort as he weaved through the middle of the Swiss defence before rounding goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbuhler and sidefooting into the empty net.
		The introduction of Avi Nimni in the second half was supposed to give Israel more control of the midfield, but before he even had a chance to make an impression Benayoun scored for a second time when he acrobatically volleyed home a rebounding shot off the Swiss keeper.

		West Ham completed the signing of Israeli international Yossi Benayoun at the weekend, paying Racing Santander of Spain around ₤2 million for the Israeli playmaker who has been linked with a string of clubs in recent months.
		Benayoun had looked set for a move to CSKA Moscow after the big-spending Russians had a bid accepted for him but his desire to play in the Premiership has been West Ham’s gain.
		At the age of just 24, Benayoun is not a short-term signing for West Ham and if he can adapt to the English game reasonably quickly could be the man to give them that little something different next season.

	Yossi Benayoun \| West Ham Fans
		There are two aspects to examine here, firstly, Yossi arrived at West Ham by a very strange route, he is actually owned by Redsox and Chelska's old pal Pini Zahavi, you know, the one who also has a piece of Rio Ferdinad.
		So it is written that Benayoun will eventually move on, at a high price, and for a massive pay back to his management(not club), but this will not happen yet.
		You might be annoyed that it is already on the cards that he will be going in a couple of seasons, but that is the way of the football world.

		The Israeli's craft and guile and ability to drift into dangerous positions in all areas of the park caused Liverpool plenty of problems and were in marked contrast to the less imaginative Reds players, whose lack of creativity was saved from real examination after the match by captain Steven Gerrards' superb display and two goals.
		Benayoun was reportedly in Rafael Benitez's sights before the Cardiff game, after spending three seasons in La Liga with Racing Santander.
		A £6million deal would give the Hammers a nice profit after they signed Benayoun for £2.5m last summer, but surely the days have gone when their best players were allowed to leave.
