Ireland and Israel drew 1-1 in a Nations League match, according to Al Jazeera, which described the contest as ill-tempered.

Al Jazeera’s headline referred to spitting allegations, but the supplied report did not specify what was alleged or attribute the claims.

The report called it a second ill-tempered match, without explaining what “second” refers to.

It did not give the match date, venue or scorers. Earlier accounts in the supplied background conflict over the result and do not establish that they concern the same match.
