The second week of the UEFA Nations League started on Sunday with several important matches.

In one of the other important matches, the Republic of Ireland managed to defeat the Israeli captives 3-0. In the match, held in an empty stadium in Hungary, the Republic of Ireland players took to the pitch wearing black armbands, bowed their heads in an "intercept sign" before kickoff, and refused to lose to captivity.

Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson said that his seven battalions "raised awareness in the world" after he decided not to participate in the pre-match ceremonies with the captives.

The Republic of Ireland reached third place in Group G with this victory.

In the second match of Group G, group leaders Austria managed to beat Kosovo 3-1.

In another crucial match, Germany lost 1-0 at home to Greece to remain winless. The Greeks, who beat Serbia in their first match, now lead Group B with six concessions. 📷 Reuters / EPA / Getty Images
