Icelanders can harbor (small) regrets. In a closed meeting and rather poor in opportunities, the teammates of Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir drew against the Belgians (1-1), for their entry into the running at Euro 2022.
More offensive, the players of Thorsteinn Halldórsson were first rewarded by opening the scoring thanks to their scorer, Thorvaldsdottir (50th) on a corner. Finally, the Red Flames equalized on a penalty from Vanhaevermaet (67th).
Nicky Evrard, impassable
And if the Belgians managed to come back to the score, it is also thanks to Nycky Evrard. The goalkeeper was in the spotlight and took out several parades in front of Jónsdóttir (49th) or on two occasions from the head of Brynjarsdóttir (37th, 71st). But that’s not all. She also stopped a penalty in front of Thorvaldsdottir (33rd), diving on the left side.
This draw between Iceland and Belgium is already the business of Les Bleues, opposed to Italy at 9 p.m.
