Kosovo drew 0-0 in Pristina against Israel, missing a golden opportunity to temporarily take the top spot in Group B3 in the Nations League and aim for direct promotion to League A.
The team led by coach Franco Foda was more demanding throughout the match, coming close to the lead several times, but without managing to find the net.
The most dangerous chances for the "Dardans" were registered by Edon Zhegrova, Milot Rashica and especially Florian Kamberi, who was only stopped by the crossbar. On the other hand, the guests also had their chances, but goalkeeper Shaibi reacted correctly by stopping a dangerous shot from Gloukh.
Kosovo's plans to push for victory until the final minutes were dealt a serious blow when Hoxha was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the 67th minute. This dismissal forced the home team to be more cautious at the back for the remaining minutes, settling for a 0-0 draw.
With this draw, Kosovo registered its fourth consecutive official match without a win under Foda. The final match of the group will pit Kosovo against Ireland, a vital match to maintain the second place that ensures their stay in the league and a more favorable pot in the European Championship qualifiers.
