Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson said his team had "raised awareness worldwide" about the Gaza conflict after they chose not to shake hands with Israel players before their 3-0 Nations League win in Hungary. The Irish players wore black armbands in recognition of all lives lost in the conflict in Sunday's match in Debrecen, bowing their heads as the Israeli national anthem was played at the near-empty stadium.
