UEFA has opened a disciplinary investigation following a claim that an Israel national team player spat at an Irish staff member during Sunday's Nations League match. The Guardian reported this today. The Irish alleged the incident occurred in the tunnel area leading to the dressing rooms during halftime. UEFA confirmed that the post-match referee's report included a "claim of an incident in the tunnel area at halftime," and that the matter will be examined as part of a disciplinary investigation concerning "possible misconduct by a player or players." The Israeli Football Association denies the claim and stated that "no one spat at the coach."
