Israel captain Dor Peretz scored a 47th-minute equalizer to earn a 1–1 draw with Ireland in Sunday's Nations League match at TSC Arena in Bačka Topola, Serbia. Troy Parrott had put Ireland ahead with a 39th-minute penalty awarded after a VAR review. Peretz converted from close range after Oscar Gloukh's shot deflected off Liam Scales, then kissed his black armband commemorating the October 7 victims. Israel goalkeeper Assaf Tzur saved a Chiedozie Ogbene effort, while Gloukh and Omri Gandleman struck the woodwork. The match was played behind closed doors.
