Summary: Denmark - Croatia 1: 0 (Sport 1)
Great frustration in Albania after the 2: 1 home loss last night (Friday) to Israel.
The Albanians had hoped to open the League of Nations campaign in a much better way and believed they deserved to finish at the top of the house, but ranked after two rounds in third and last place with just one point out of six possible.
In Albania, they pointed an accusing finger at coach Eddie Ria, who allegedly was late in reacting to what was happening in the game and did not prevent the collapse of his players in the second half, during which Israel completed a makeover.
In Albania, too, they were surprised by the ability of Manor Solomon, the hero of the Israeli victory that won a double.
"Congratulations to Israel. Whoever this manor Solomon is, he is a very solid player and did everything he wanted in front of our defense. Our display in the second half was simply shameful," the Albanian media wrote.

In England, too, they were impressed by Solomon's quality and creativity
Former national team player Erwin Pekai, who served as the Albanian TV commentator at the game, said that "it seemed that our players came on the field feeling like they were favorites. They underestimated Israel a bit, and paid dearly."
According to national team coach Eddie Raye, these are false accusations.
"Everyone who understands football knows that Israel is a strong team. We saw it today. They started the game better, and were very dangerous on offense. Unfortunately, we made serious mistakes on defense and handed them the victory on a plate. It's a shame, but as a coach I can only "Give instructions - the players are the ones who have to carry them out on the grass. This did not happen today."
