Bibras Natcho's match issued shirt from the Israel vs. Scotland Euro 2020 playoff semi-final match played on October 8th, 2020. Despite finishing 2nd in Group C1, Israel managed to qualify to the Euro 2020 Playoffs. This was arguably Israel's most important match in the last 20 years and was originally supposed to take place in March before getting postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Natcho was captain for the match and played the first 69 minutes before being replaced by Mohammad Abu Fani. The match ended 0-0 after regular time and stayed that way through extra time. Israel lost the match on penalties 5-3 as Eran Zahavi missed Israel's first penalty and Marciano failed to save any of Scotland's penalties. The defeat signaled the end of Israel's hope for qualifying to their first major tournament since 1970.
The shirt is unique and rare as it was the only match which they wore the new white Puma 2020/21 model with the Euro qualification patches. They wore this shirt for 4/6 matches in the 2020/21 Nations League.
