Israel went up 2:0. With the score 2:1, Israel's Eytan Tibi got ejected for his second yellow card, and it gave Adis Jahović a penalty kick, which was saved by David Goresh, which allowed Israel to win 2:1. FYR Macedonia had 54 percent of the possession, 56.7 percent of the completed passes, a higher pass completion percentage (86.7 to 84.2), more shots (14 to 6), more shots on goal (7 to 3), more free kicks (24 to 13), more corner kicks (9 to 4), and more throw-ins (31 to 16). Israel had more of the bad statstics with more fouls (20 to 6), 4 first yellow cards, and 1 secon yellow card/red card. FYR Macedonia didn't get any cards. Given the statistics, it wasn't an easy win for Israel. The other games in the group were Italy 1:1 Spain and Liechtenstein 0:2 Albania. I'll start a new topic for the game on Sunday 9 October.
