Note: Australia won the second and last edition of the Oceania Cup in 1980 and
held the title officially until the tournament was revived (as "Oceania
Nations Cup") in 1996. But since the tournament was discontinued, games
against Australia between 1985 to 1989 are not brought here.
In the friendly of 27/04/1940, 3 players scored their first international goal in their debut. One of them, Herbert Meitner, did it at the first minute of the game (see first minute goals)! On the other hand, Pini Balili scored his first international goal in the 90th minute (on 03/06/2000 against Hungary). Zahi Armeli and Shlomi Arbeitman hold a record of 3 goals in their debut (see hat-tricks). Other 6 players scored 2 goals in their debut. The defender Yaron Adiv was the only Israeli player who scored an own goal in his debut. He did it in the 16th minute of the friendly against Netherlands Olympic on 15/02/1983 (see own goals).

There were 20 occasions when 3 or more international goals were scored by the same Israeli player. 3 players did it more than once: Yehoshua Feigenbaum (3 times), Yossi Benayoun and Mordechai Spiegler (2 times), who is also the only Israeli player who scored 4 goals on the same game (4-0 over USA on 25/09/1968). Moreover, Spiegler scored his 4 goals in 20 minutes (70, 80, 87, 90)! In the Olympics qualifying match against Taiwan, held on 23/03/1988 (9-0), 2 players scored hat-tricks: Nir Levin and Shalom Tikva. The 3 goals of Levin were scored in 8 minutes (58, 60, 66), the fastest hat-trick for Israel national team. On the other hand, the hat-trick of Spiegler in the Olympic qualifying match against Ceylon, held on 17/03/1968, is apparently the slowest one. Spiegler needed 73 minutes to score his 3 goals (12, 60, 85). Shlomi Arbeitman and Zahi Armeli scored hat-tricks on their debuts.
