Juventus, Zhegrova starts for Kosovo: 0-0 against Israel in the Nations League

Edon Zhegrova in the spotlight for Kosovo: the Juventus winger started in the 0-0 draw against Israel. Wearing the number 10 shirt, he remained on the pitch until the 82nd minute. Foda’s national team earn another point in Group 3 of Nations League B.

Kosovo played out a goalless draw against Israel in their fifth Nations League match. Zhegrova and his team-mates took a point at the Fadil Vokrri in Pristina, having drawn 1-1 with Austria in their previous match.

The Juventus winger, born in 1999, started in the number 10 shirt and took on significant responsibility in attack. For the national team, he is expected to be one of the main figures up front, unlike his role so far in Spalletti's pecking order.

In the 82nd minute, he made way for Kacuri. Kosovo had struggled after Hodza's sending off left them with ten men in the 67th minute. Foda's side still held on to the 0-0 scoreline until the final whistle. The result takes Kosovo to six points in Group 3. Austria, on eight points, and Ireland, on five, remain ahead, with the two sides due to meet at 20:45 on Saturday 14 November at the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz.
