From Kosovo's previous match with Israel, a statement by the famous Israeli player, Eran Zahavi, also caused a stir.
Zahavi played 90 minutes for Israel in that match on November 12, 2023 at "Fadil Vokrri". He has now ended his international career.
"It was more of a pig sty than a football field," Zahavi said of the field at the stadium in Pristina.
"We knew it wouldn't be easy in every situation and we didn't get a point tonight," the Israeli footballer added.
There was criticism from Kosovo players about the condition of the stadium pitch, but Zahavi made an unacceptable comparison.
