Moldova 0-4 Israel Player Ratings: Manor Solomon Rated 9/10 as Israel Cruise to a Dominant Victory

Israel delivered an absolute masterclass against Moldova. The visitors secured a resounding 4-0 victory. This match was a showcase of their attacking might. From our perspective, Moldova were simply outplayed. They couldn't handle Israel's fluid movement and sharp passing.

The scoring opened early. Dor Peretz found the net just 15 minutes in. This set the tone for the entire evening. Dan Biton then doubled the lead before halftime. His goal came from a swift counterattack. It really felt like the game was over then.

The second half continued in the same vein. Tai Baribo added a third goal, capitalizing on more poor defending. To cap it all off, Oscar Gloukh scored the fourth. It was a completely one-sided affair in this WC Qualification Europe clash. Moldova had no answers for Israel's relentless pressure.

Goalkeeper

Daniel Peretz - 7.0: A quiet night for the keeper. He made 3 saves when called upon. What stood out to us was his confidence. He claimed everything calmly. A clean sheet is always a great result for a goalkeeper's morale.

Defenders

Eli Dasa - 8.0: An excellent performance from the captain. He provided a crucial assist for the opening goal. He was solid defensively, making 2 key interceptions. His overlapping runs caused Moldova problems all game. A real leader's display from our perspective.

Roy Revivo - 7.0: A steady and reliable outing at left-back. He supported the attack well throughout the match. We noticed his 6 ball recoveries, showing his good positioning. He was incredibly composed on the ball, rarely giving it away. A very decent showing indeed.

Idan Nachmias - 7.5: A rock at the back for Israel. He made an incredible 14 clearances, a testament to his defensive awareness. He dominated his aerial duels, winning 5 of them. He was a commanding presence that Moldova's forwards got no change out of.

Stav Lemkin - 7.0: Composed and exceptionally tidy in possession. His 97% pass accuracy was impressive, helping Israel build from the back. He kept it simple and effective. Formed a great partnership with Nachmias, and he didn't put a foot wrong.

Midfielders

Dor Peretz - 8.0: Got the ball rolling with the crucial first goal. He was a constant threat arriving in the box. His energy in midfield was infectious. He worked tirelessly for the team, both in attack and defence. A fantastic all-around performance from the midfielder.

Manor Solomon - 9.0: The star of the show, without a single doubt. He scored one and brilliantly assisted another. His dribbling was a complete nightmare for the Moldovan defenders. He created 3 big chances for his teammates. Absolutely unplayable on the day and our clear man of the match.

Oscar Gloukh - 8.5: Scored a well-deserved goal to cap off a brilliant performance. He was always looking to make things happen in the final third. He had 4 shots and was a constant danger. His link-up play with the forwards was a joy to watch.

Eliel Peretz - 6.5: A solid, if unspectacular, performance in the middle. He did the simple things well, keeping possession moving. He picked up a yellow card which was a slight blemish on his game. But he played his part in a completely dominant midfield display.

Dan Biton - 8.0: Scored a brilliant goal on the counter-attack, showing great composure. His assist was also perfectly weighted. He created 2 key chances for his teammates. He was a creative spark throughout the game. A very influential display.

Forwards

Tai Baribo - 8.0: Led the line brilliantly all evening. He got his deserved goal with a smart, clinical finish. He worked incredibly hard for the team, pressing from the front. He won 6 duels and was a real handful. He held the ball up well and brought others into play effectively.

Substitutes

Yarden Shua (for Solomon 65') - 6.0: Came on and looked lively, but picked up a needless yellow card.

Gabi Kanichowsky (for D. Peretz 65') - 6.5: Slotted into midfield and kept the team ticking over nicely.

Dor Turgeman (for Baribo 72') - N/A: Not enough time to make a significant impact.

Anan Khalaili (for Dasa 73') - N/A: Brought on to see the game out and gain experience.

Sagiv Jehezkel (for E. Peretz 79') - N/A: Had little time to influence the match in the final stages.

Manager

R. Ben Shimon - 8.5: His tactics were spot on from the first whistle. Israel looked organised, motivated, and ruthless. The team played with attacking freedom and confidence. His substitutions were managed well to see out the dominant win. A perfect away performance masterminded by the coach.

Goalkeeper

Cristian Avram - 7.0: It's hard to rate a keeper who conceded four goals. However, he also made 5 saves, some of which were excellent stops. Without him, the scoreline could have been even worse. From our perspective, he was badly let down by his defence.

Defenders

Oleg Reabciuk - 4.5: A day to forget for the defender. His error led directly to a goal, a moment he'll want back. He struggled to contain Israel's dynamic wingers all game. He lost possession a staggering 21 times. It was a really tough outing for him.

Vladyslav Baboglo - 5.5: He had an incredibly difficult time against Israel's fluid attack. We noticed he was dribbled past 3 times. He did make a couple of interceptions. But overall, he was part of a defence that was simply torn apart.

Artur Crăciun - 6.0: Probably the best of a bad bunch at the back. He made 7 clearances and even had a shot on target from a set-piece. He tried his best to hold things together under immense pressure. But it felt like an impossible task.

Daniel Dumbrăvanu - 5.0: Hooked at halftime after a torrid 45 minutes. He struggled to cope with the pace and movement of the game. He made 5 clearances but looked completely overwhelmed. The substitution was absolutely necessary from the manager.

Sergiu Platica - 5.0: He worked hard but often lacked the quality needed at this level. He was dribbled past and lost possession too often. He did win a decent number of his duels. But he couldn't stop the relentless wave of Israeli attacks down his flank.

Midfielders

Artur Ioniță - 5.5: The midfielder was largely anonymous in the first half. He just couldn't get a foothold in the game against Israel's press. He only had 13 touches before being subbed off. A very quiet and ineffective performance.

Mihail Caimacov - 6.5: One of the few Moldova players who can hold their head somewhat high. He created 2 chances and was always trying to get on the ball. He recovered the ball 7 times, showing good fight. A spirited performance in a comprehensively beaten team.

Vadim Rață - 5.5: The captain had a very quiet game in the heart of midfield. He couldn't influence the midfield battle at all. He was subbed off early in the second half. Not the performance he would have wanted to deliver.

Forwards

Ștefan Bodișteanu - 5.0: Made very little impact on the game. He was completely isolated up front for most of his time on the pitch. He was dispossessed once and couldn't create any danger. It was no surprise when he was subbed off before the hour mark.

Virgiliu Postolachi - 5.5: He battled hard but was ultimately ineffective. He won 5 duels but lost possession 9 times which is too high. He really struggled to get into the game. Another forward who was starved of any meaningful service.

Substitutes

Nichita Motpan (for Dumbrăvanu 45') - 6.0: Added a bit more energy but couldn't change the game's direction.

Victor Stîna (for Ioniță 56') - 6.0: Tried to make things happen but the contest was already over.

Maxim Cojocaru (for Bodișteanu 56') - 5.5: Had little to no impact after coming from the bench.

Cristian Dros (for Rață 56') - 5.5: Couldn't get into the flow of a match that was already lost.

Sergiu Perciun (for Postolachi 73') - N/A: Not enough time to make an impact.

Manager

S. Cleşcenco - 5.0: His team was completely outclassed from start to finish. The initial defensive setup didn't work at all. His substitutions made little difference to the outcome. It was a very difficult night for the Moldova manager. He has a lot to think about before the next fixture.
