This is an Itay Shechter match worn/issued shirt from the Israel vs. Italy 2018 World Cup Qualifier match played on September 5, 2017. Israel lost the match 1-0 from a 53rd minute header from Italian Striker, Ciro Immobile. Shechter started the match playing as a lone forward, until he was substituted in the 69th minute for Israeli Legend, Yossi Benayoun (this was Benayoun's 100th cap for Israel). Throughout the campaign, Israel used two different white kits. This shirt is from the first match that they started to wear the second kit. In addition, the match details on this shirt appear to be a sticker which they ironed on, which is the only match that had details which looked like this. The reason behind this was that they had already ironed on the details to these shirts for the match vs. Macedonia, which was played on September 2, 2017. They must've planned on wearing these white shirts for that match and only decided to wear the blue kit last minute. I have 4 Israel shirts and 1 Italy shirt from this match.
