  "account": "In a match held in Debrecen, the Republic of Ireland secured their first win of the Nations League Group B3 campaign by defeating Israel. The Irish team achieved this triumph with three goals in the first half, put up by Troy Parrott, Adam Idah, and Jack Moylan. This dominant performance allowed the Irish to maintain their lead for most of the game. Despite Israel's efforts in the second half, they were unable to overcome the Irish. The Republic of Ireland players did not shake hands with the Israeli team before the match, instead bowing their heads during the playing of the Israeli national anthem. The win came after a disappointing defeat in Kosovo just three days prior. The team now looks forward to their next fixture, a game against Austria in Dublin, while Israel will face Kosovo in Debrecen.",
  "summary": "Three first-half goals saw the Republic of Ireland claim the first win of their Nations League Group B3 campaign against Israel in Hungary.",
