The Israeli national football team drew 0-0 against Kosovo in an away match on Saturday, failing to secure a win in the UEFA Nations League and losing its chance to advance to the top tier. Coach Ran Ben Shimon remains without a victory in the competition. The draw leaves Israel close to relegation to the third division, which would result in a tougher draw for Euro qualifiers.
Despite playing with a numerical advantage for a significant portion of the second half, Israel could not find the back of the net. This performance follows a disappointing window last month and adds to the team's frustration, as they were unable to rise to the occasion in Pristina.
Kosovo, playing in front of a full stadium, had hoped for a victory that would advance their playoff chances. However, the match ended goalless, with both teams unable to score.
