UEFA Nations League, League B 4Rep. Of IrelandIRE 1 1 Full Time Israel Venue Gradski Stadion Referee Juan Martinez MunueraTroy Parrott 39 (Pen) Dor Peretz 47The Republic of Ireland were held to a 1-1 draw with Israel in Serbia after Troy Parrotts penalty was cancelled out by Daniel Peretzs goal early in the second half. Played in Serbia due to security concerns, Ireland will have been frustrated not to take all three points after a particularly dominant first half, with Israel improving after the break and missing several chances of their own to grab the win.Parrott scores againThe Republic of Ireland had made a bright start despite a subdued atmosphere in Serbia, with Adam Idah forcing a save from Assaf Tzur before Parrott curled an effort just wide.Israel had enjoyed a spell of pressure of their own, with Caoimhin Kelleher denying Liel Abada before Ireland gradually regained control.Jayson Molumby had gone close with a powerful effort from the edge of the box, while Ireland had also threatened from set-pieces and long throws.Ireland had been awarded a penalty in the 39th minute after Jimmy Dunne was fouled by Dor Peretz following Parrotts initial effort, with Parrott making no mistake from the spot.Israel had offered little in response before the break, leaving Ireland to head into half-time with a deserved 1-0 lead.Israel grab pointBut the Irish then endured a disastrous start to the second half when Peretz levelled the game with Israels first shot on target, reacting quickest after Oscar Gloukhs shot defltected off Liam Scales.Idah then saw a chance go begging for Ireland before Gloukh delivered another warning shot with a low drive which was smothered by Kelleher.Chiedozie Ogbene had immediately made an impact, forcing Assaf Tzur into a fine save with a fierce dipping strike, while Jake OBrien had also seen a header blocked from a corner.Israel had gone close to taking the lead late on, with Omri Gandlemans low effort and Oscar Gloukhs volley both clipping the outside of the post as the game entered an increasingly frantic final 10 minutes.
