An Ireland staff member has claimed an Israel player spat at him during a half-time melee in the Nations League clash, with head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson declining to comment and suggesting it was a matter for UEFA's disciplinary committee. The match was marred by political controversy, including Irish players bowing their heads during Israel's anthem and refusing to shake hands, while two Israeli journalists were banned from the post-match press conference.
