The Israeli national football team struggled against Kosovo in a Nations League campaign match, failing to secure an early lead due to significant missed opportunities by midfielder Dor Peretz and player Tai Baribo. Despite playing considerably better than in their previous game against Ireland, these misses allowed Kosovo to breathe a sigh of relief. According to the Botasot website, Peretz received a perfect pass and was close to scoring, with "the save by Amir Shefi saving an entire country." Kosovo's leading media outlet, Telegrafi, noted that after a period of Kosovo's dominance, Israel increased its tempo and played well, but Peretz's shot was "too strong."
Kosovo's goalkeeper, Amir Shefi, who plays for Castellón in the Spanish second division, was making his sixth appearance for the national team. He was called up following an injury to Arijanet Muric of Sassuolo.
