What a ridiculous outcome of tonight's matches. Southampton finished equal on points with an Israeli team, with a goal difference of +2 compared with 0. Somehow, this team from Israel, of whom I doubt whether many people had previously heard, have somehow fluked their way through to the next round by virtue of a better head to head record. As this adjudication depended on the scoring of one away goal in a drawn match, this is utter nonsense and cannot be justified by any logical reasoning.
