Arabic version: تعادل أيرلندا وإسرائيل في مباراة متوترة بدوري الأمم

According to Al Jazeera, Ireland and Israel drew 1-1 in a second ill-tempered Nations League match on October 5, 2026.

Players from both teams wore black armbands before the match. The gesture commemorated lives lost in Gaza and in the October 7 attacks.

Tensions flared at half time over allegations of spitting. The match ultimately ended level, with neither Ireland nor Israel able to move beyond the 1-1 scoreline.
