The Danes scored the winning goal in time added to the second half.
In the match of the fifth round of the group stage of the elite division of the League of Nations, the national team of Denmark came together in confrontation with Iceland.
After Christian Eriksen converted the penalty already in the 12th minute of the meeting, the Icelanders were unable to regain the balance in the score. The minimum advantage of the Danes remained until the 85th minute, until Kjartansson, with his goal, gave hope to the fans of the Icelandic national team for the first point scored in the current UEFA Nations League.
Nevertheless, it was too early for the Icelanders to rejoice, because at the very end of the duel a second penalty was awarded to the Icelanders, and Eriksen successfully converted it this time and brought Denmark a difficult victory with a score of 2: 1.
