Romania is ahead of Israel by 5 points

Israel played one of the remaining teams in the qualifying group for the 2024 European Championship away to Kosovo on Sunday.

On a terrible pitch, Alon Hazan’s team had no chance against the Kosovars, who opened the scoring in the 41st minute thanks to Rashica.

The victory of the Kosovars is an excellent result for the Romanian national team, which will meet Israel on November 18.
