10月2日，据24直播网消息，《电讯报》揭露，一场爱尔兰与奥地利之间的欧国联赛事因观众向场地内投掷网球而被迫暂停，此举被视为球迷对爱尔兰与以色列比赛的不满表达。

在比赛进行至第20分钟之际，网球被投掷至场地，部分球上贴有巴勒斯坦国旗图案，更有“停止比赛”的口号。随后，主裁阿拉德·林豪特宣布暂停比赛以供球员补水，此时爱尔兰队以1比0领先。该活动组织在一份公告中将这一行为描述为一场“有限的网球抗议”。

The match was briefly halted before the 20-minute mark to remove tennis balls, during which the two teams utilized the interruption for hydration. The game was suspended once more around the 35-minute mark, when a man entered the arena brandishing an item that appeared to be a flag resembling that of Palestine. He was swiftly apprehended by security personnel and removed from the scene. Outside the stadium, a substantial number of security and police officers were present, and a small group of protesters had gathered prior to the match.

在奥地利进行的比赛中，特洛伊·帕洛特贡献了两次入球，然而，爱尔兰队在后半段遭遇了奥地利队的猛烈反击，最终无奈地以2比2的比分与对手握手言和。

在一场备受瞩目的比赛中，爱尔兰的门神加文·巴祖努，之前曾婉拒了与以色列交手的邀请，如今却意外地回归了球队阵容。与此同时，芬恩·阿扎兹也加入了这份名单，当他的名字在赛前广播中被提及时，现场响起了热烈的掌声和欢呼声。
