Goalkeeper of Iceland's national team Hannes Halldoursson commented on a draw in the match of the World Cup-2018 against Argentina, whose hero he became.

So, on the 64th minute of the game the leader of the Argentine team Lionel Messi got the right to break through the penalty, but the strike from striker Halldorsson parried. In addition to the reflected penalty, he several times saved his team. "It's incredible for me to become the best player of my team in the first match at the World Cup. More and reflect a penalty. This is a big and important moment for all of us, because the salvation of this penalty increases our chances of getting out of the group.

Of course, I worked on a home penalty. It's hard to predict how everything will turn out in the game, but today everything turned out. I was trying to imagine what Messi would think, carrying out a penalty. I watched his past attempts to execute a penalty and knew how he does it.

Pleasure after a draw? For us, this is a big draw, we have the last time understood how important it is to immediately start gaining points. We played against one of the best teams in the world, against the best players in the world, "said Halldoursson.

Recall, the national team of Argentina sensationally lost points in the 1st round of the World Cup 2018 against the national team of Iceland, and Messi beat the 52-year record world championships.
