Belgium Falls to Israel in UEFA Nations League Clash
Belgium was narrowly defeated by Israel with a score of 1-0 in their UEFA Nations League Group A2 match on Sunday, November 17, 2024. The game, which took place at Bozsik Arena in Budapest, saw Israel clinch their first win of the season with a late goal from debutant Yarden Shua in the 86th minute.
Despite dominating possession, controlling 69% of the game, and attempting 13 shots on goal, Belgium was unable to convert these opportunities into points. Conversely, Israel seized on a defensive mistake to net the match-winning goal. Belgium's attempts were consistently blocked by Israel’s goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, who made several crucial saves.
As a result of this outcome, Belgium finished third in their group and will face a relegation play-off in March to maintain their position in the top tier of the Nations League. Despite the victory, Israel was relegated to League B.
