After a defeat in the match against Ukraine (0:2) in Warsaw, the Icelandic coach learned that his team again faced the problem of losing concentration at the end of the halves.

" There is a major problem in Icelandic football when we lose concentration in the rest of the country.. It just happened today,” said Gunnleigsson.

The coach said that such failures were only corrected after the break:.

" We also spent concentration at the end of the first. Ale tse football. Vitaya Ukraine with the victory and exit from the playoff. We accept the result.

Let's get over it, and tomorrow we'll be strong"

Iceland had enough draws to enter the playoffs, and even the team had a small difference in goals. Prote Ukraine won the victory and for the first time in 13 matches played “to zero” - the recovery was also destroyed in the National League match against Georgia (1:0) in the 2024 season.

Ukraine finished second in Group D with ten points and qualified for the playoffs for ChS-2026. Iceland finished in third place with seven points.

The draw for the European and Intercontinental playoffs will take place on November 20.
