The game will be Saturday 12 November at 2:45 P.M. USA Eastern. The Bet365 odds give Albania a 3/7ths chance at winning with a draw and an Israel win at 2/7ths each. Although I've already given up on Israel qualifying, I'm still rooting for them for their FIFA Ranking to get them an easier draw next time. A win at Albania would move them 3 points ahead of Albania with a good chance at finishing third (the best of the rest behind Spain and Italy). A loss would make it hard for Israel to finish above fourth considering they haven't gone to Italy or played either game against Spain yet.
In the USA, the game will be live online on ESPN3 and delayed on ESPN Deportes on Sunday at 7:00 A.M.
The final score was Albania 0:3 Israel. It was the first time Israel won by at least 3 goals in a country other than Israel, Andorra, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, San Marino, or Latvia since a 9:0 win over Chinese Taipei in an Olympic Qualifier in New Zealand on 23 March 1988. Israel had a 3:0 win against Japan in an Olympic Qualifier in South Korea on 31 March 1976. Albania got straight red cards that led to penalty kicks in the 17th and 55th minutes. Israel scored on their first penalty kick in the 18th minute. Albania's second straight red card was for their goalkeeper. After a substitution, Israel did not score on their penalty kick in the 58th minute. Eran Zahavi attempted both penalty kicks. Dan Einbinder scored in the 66th minute and Eliran Atar scored in the 84th minute. Israel got more yellow cards, 3 to 2, but that doesn't include Albania's straight red cards. Israel had way more shots (23 to 9) and shots on target (11 to 3). Albania had more free kicks, 17 to 15, and each team had 3 corner kicks. Albania completed 88.2 percent of their passes and Israel completed 90.2 percent of their passes.
