After the UEFA Nations League group stage, the national teams of Israel and Georgia remained in League B and League C, respectively.
Solomon brought victory
In the 6th round, Israel hosted Scotland in Netanya. The hosts won 1-0. Manor Solomon appeared in the starting lineup and became the MVP after scoring the winning goal - in the 44th minute, he beat a defender in the penalty area and used his left foot to send the ball right inside the far corner. After the break, the midfielder could have added an assist to his record when he spectacularly backheeled it to Zahavi, but the PSV Eindhoven forward’s attempt went wide. Manor’s four of six dribbles in this meeting were successful. In the end, when the visitors were attacking hoping to level the score, he made three interceptions.
Khocholava’s half
The Georgia national team were tied 0-0 by the Estonians at home. After a failure in the Euro qualifier, Vladimir Weiss resigned from the managerial post, and the team was led by Ramaz Svanadze. The hosts dominated possession (68%) and made three times more attempts (12-4), making it on target only twice (2-0). David Khocholava spent the first half on the field and won five out of six challenges, being replaced at half-time by Grigalava.
