Events

Match Events

  • 0' Iceland have kicked off against Austria. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Austria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Birkir Mar Saevarsson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 18' What composure from Jon Dadi Bodvarsson! The Iceland international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 23' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 28' Austria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 33' Both keepers have barely been tested. Iceland and Austria are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 36' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Austria that had 109 games and scored 20 goals.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Alessandro Schopf. He replaces Sebastian Prodl on 46 minute.
  • 51' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Kolbeinn Sigthorsson.
  • 56' It looks surprising Austria does not make any changes. Kolbeinn Sigþorsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' What a moment for Alessandro Schopf! That strike on 60 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 65' Birkir Bjarnason, a Iceland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 70' A moment of madness from Marc Janko on 70 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Austria will be frustrated.
  • 71' A change in the Iceland ranks — Jon Dadi Bodvarsson exits the field as Elmar Bjarnason enters on 71.
  • 76' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 78' It’s a booking for Iceland player. Kari Arnason gets a Yellow card.
  • 78' The Austria manager makes a substitution. Marcel Sabitzer departs to be replaced by Jakob Jantscher.
  • 80' Arnor Ingvi Traustason is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kolbeinn Sigthorsson at the 80 minute mark.
  • 82' Hannes THor Halldorsson is having his name booked by the referee on 82.
  • 86' Sverrir Ingi Ingason gets the nod from Iceland. He replaces Johann Berg Gudmundsson and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' Magnificent from Arnor Ingvi Traustason! That is 10 goals in 248 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
