UEFA has launched an investigation into alleged misconduct that occurred in the tunnel during halftime of the Nations League match between Israel and the Republic of Ireland. The match concluded in a 1-1 draw. The investigation was prompted by claims from the Irish team's assistant coach, who accused Israeli player Dor Turgeman of spitting at him. Following this accusation, Israeli team manager Roi Reinshreiber reportedly intervened, telling them to stop inventing stories. UEFA confirmed in a statement that a disciplinary investigator has been appointed to examine the claims of possible unsportsmanlike conduct by players in or around the tunnel.
