Albania 0 - 3 Israel: Israel stun Albania to keep pace with big names
Posted Sunday, November 13, 2016 by PA
Israel stayed hot on the heels of Spain and Italy in FIFA European World Cup Qualifying Group G with a 3-0 victory over nine-man Albania.
With Spain and Italy - the 2010 and 2006 World Cup winners respectively - winning on Saturday, Israel remained a point behind both.
The visitors led through an 18th-minute Eran Zahavi penalty after Berat Djimsiti was dismissed for fouling Zahavi.
On 55 minutes Zahavi was fouled in the area again - by Etrit Berisha who also saw red - but the midfielder's second spot-kick was saved.
Dan Einbinder's left-footed volley doubled the lead 11 minutes later before substitute Eliran Atar completed the scoring with seven minutes to go.
