Kosovo was the surprise of the day. They scored twice in the first half to win the match 2-0. Sweden dominated possession, while Kosovo made the most effective attacks.

After Emerllahu received a red card in the final minutes for his second yellow card, Kosovo finished the match with 10 men.

Another key match was the 4-5 draw between Israel and Italy.

I don't remember Italy conceding so many goals recently.

The biggest factor, of course, was that both goals were own goals. Locatelli and Bastoni were a surprise 😂

The situation really looks interesting in UEFA Group I. Norway is leading with 4 wins from as many matches, while Israel and Italy are having 9 points each. Now here, Israel has played one more match compared to Italy. So the latter has an advantage. Although the match between Italy and Israel was close, in the end Italy walked away with 3 points. That is going to help them to recover slightly, after their thrashing from Norway. Also, they have wins against Moldova and Estonia to their name.
