Successful Start for Foda! Kosovo Beats Ireland

Head coach Franco Foda celebrates with Kosovo's national team a successful start in League B of the UEFA Nations League.

Fenerbahce striker Vedat Muriqi scores the late winning goal (83rd minute) in the home match against Ireland. Shortly after, Ermal Krasniqi misses a great chance for 2-0.

Foda's squad is significantly more dominant offensively and takes eight shots at the Irish goal. They registered an xG value of 2.22. The visitors only managed one shot on target.

Kosovo to Visit Vienna on Sunday

Goalscorer Muriqi is the new captain of the national team, after long-serving key player Amir Rrahmani had stepped down.

Already on Sunday (8:45 PM CET), Foda's Kosovo will face Austria in Vienna. The ÖFB team won on Thursday in their Nations League opener in Linz by 3-1 against Israel.
