Icelandic team player Hakon Arnar Haraldsson commented on the upcoming match against Azerbaijan (2:0) and shared his thoughts on the upcoming match against Ukraine:.
“I felt a miracle, especially in the first half, when we played the ball more often. We controlled the game both with and without the ball. We came here, scored three points, won 2:0 and kept a clean sheet.
The time has come to beat Ukraine. If we make it to the playoffs, we will have enough chances to make it to the world championship,” said Haraldsson.
In another match against Quartet D, the Ukrainian national team suffered defeats on the road with a score of 0:4. Iceland and Ukraine are currently on the line, but through a huge difference in balls, the Ukrainians need to get help from the upcoming round in order to save their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
