Israel are facing a spitting allegation following their European Nations League tie against Ireland, with the Ireland manager saying he was 'delighted' with the result despite the controversy, according to Al Jazeera.
The Ireland boss said a disciplinary committee would look into allegations that an Israeli player spat at one of his coaching staff during the match. He did not elaborate further on the specifics of the incident, leaving the matter in the hands of the relevant disciplinary body.
The allegation adds a contentious note to a match that otherwise ended in a result the Ireland manager described positively. Governing bodies typically review such incidents using video evidence and player and staff testimony before any disciplinary action is decided.
