UEFA to investigate alleged spitting incident between Ireland and Israel staff during Nations League draw on 4 October.
Ireland drew 1-1 with Israel in a Nations League match on 4 October, with Troy Parrott's penalty cancelled out by Israel's captain. Despite the political tensions surrounding the fixture, play remained largely disciplined with only four yellow cards issued. However, allegations emerged that Irish staff were spat at by an Israeli staff member during half-time. Former FIFA referee Keith Hackett told Football Insider that UEFA will investigate the incident, treating spitting as violent conduct with potential consequences for both nations.
