Iceland 2-1 Austria: Win keeps fairytale going for islanders

England now lie in wait for Lars Lagerback’s underdogs, who made the knockout stages in breathtaking fashion thanks to Arnor Traustason’s last-minute winner

AN INCREDIBLE 2-1 win over Austria ensured Iceland a place in the last 16, keeping the islanders’ incredible fairytale going in Euro 2016.

Having tied with Portugal and Hungary, the side started their final Group E match in the best possible fashion when Jon Dadi Bodvarsson gave them the lead.

Alessandro Schopf levelled the game in the second half, but Iceland hit back with a last-gasp effort from Arnor Traustason to take second place and set up a clash with England.

    I’d say they missed on purpose. Couldn’t afford the replay

    Rory Beggan could pop it over from the halfway line if the conditions were right, serious distance. McManus immense as usual

    As a Down man, I’m a bit more confident after watching that. We’ll just get hammered by less than I thought now.

    @Niall Campbell: I don’t know, I’d give Down a good chance against Monaghan.
