BBC • • sports
Key Points:
- The Republic of Ireland secured their first win in the Nations League Group B3 with a 3-0 victory over Israel in Debrecen, Hungary, thanks to first-half goals from Troy Parrott, Adam Idah, and Jack Moylan.
- Ireland rebounded strongly from a recent defeat in Kosovo, maintaining control for most of the match and withstanding Israel's second-half attempts to score, largely due to goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher's key saves.
- The match featured a tense atmosphere, marked by no handshakes before kickoff and the Irish players bowing their heads during the Israeli anthem.
- Ireland will next face Austria in Dublin on Thursday, while Israel returns to Debrecen to play Kosovo.
