Nir Bitton's match worn shirt from the Israel v. Macedonia match played on November 19th, 2019 at the Philip II Arena in Skopje. Israel lost the match 1-0, from a stoppage time goal by Boban Nikolov at the end of the first half. Bitton played the full match having a decent performance, despite the loss.
During the Euro 2020 qualifiers, Israel featured in Group G alongside: Poland, Austria, Slovenia, Macedonia, and Latvia. They had a horrible campaign, finishing in the 5th place with 11 points from their 10 matches.
The shirt was received directly from Nir Bitton after the match. It contains dirt/mud stains as well as a blood stain on the back of the shirt. I believe it was only worn in the second half, assuming that Nir changed shirts during halftime.
