Wales host Montenegro on Monday night, whereas Turkey journey to Iceland.
Sure, that was a recreation of two halves all proper. Wales the higher aspect within the first half; Iceland a lot the higher aspect within the second. As soon as the ache of letting a two-goal lead slip, Wales could replicate that, on one other night time, Iceland would have scored a hatful in that second half. However they dug in and acquired a treasured level. The truth is, that match wasn’t fully dissimilar to Montenegro away final month, during which Wales might have each scored and conceded an enormous quantity. No surprise Craig Bellamy will get so excited earlier than every match. His workforce are splendidly entertaining to observe. Particularly for the impartial, one suspects, however there it’s.
FULL TIME: Iceland 2-2 Wales
The whistle goes. Just a few Iceland gamers crumble to the ground. They wished the win. Wales a bit happier to have held on for the purpose. Åge Fridtjof Hareide and Craig Bellamy take pleasure in a smiley embrace. Their groups have placed on a present tonight.

84 min: Gylfi Sigurdsson, previously of Swansea Metropolis, replaces Gudjohnsen.

Three thousand two-nils taught me by no means to count on a victory, however I’m kinda anticipating Iceland to win now.”
82 min: Traustason comes on for Iceland’s captain Gudmundsson.
81 min: Burns performs a blind backpass down the Icelandic proper. Óskarsson latches onto it and sends a screamer throughout Ward and inches vast of the left-hand submit. Wales are hanging on now. They’ve been hanging on because the begin of the second half, actually.

78 min: Thorsteinsson powers down the left and into the Wales field. He might shoot, however opts to slide in Ellertsson to his proper.

76 min: Wales make a double change. Cullen and Cabango come on for Roberts – whose head have to be spinning after falling for that backheel and dribble – and Thomas.
74 min: That was a sensational run by Tómasson, who earned the fortunate deflection he acquired off Ward on the finish. No blame on the keeper, who needed to do one thing at his close to submit, with the Iceland substitute dancing in direction of him at pace.
GOAL! Iceland 2-2 Wales (Ward og 72)
That is outrageously good. Thorsteinsson sends Tómasson clear down the left with a cute backheel. Tómasson enters the field and dribbles all the way in which alongside the byline, leaving Roberts for useless, earlier than hitting a low cutback that hits the diving Ward’s supporting arm and deflects in.
71 min: That’s the least Iceland deserve if we’re being trustworthy with ourselves. Iceland have been first to just about every thing because the break. And now their followers are in full voice. You understand the one. HÚH! HÚH! HÚH!
GOAL! Iceland 1-2 Wales (Tómasson 69)
The nook, from the left, is labored again to Tómasson on the left-hand fringe of the D. He’s acquired house to line up a shot, and curls throughout Ward and into the underside proper. Now that one was unstoppable. It’s truthful to say it had been coming.
68 min: Thórdarson delaps one other throw into the Wales field from the left. The guests half clear, however Gudmundsson pearls what seems to be like an unstoppable shot in direction of the underside left. However Ward in some way stops it!

66 min: Cooper concedes a foul this time, flipping Gudmundsson over on the appropriate flank. The set piece is launched diagonally in direction of Óskarsson on the left-hand fringe of the six-yard field, however the Iceland striker can’t form his physique to make a connection. Wales get away with one there, as a result of that was certainly a purpose had Óskarsson sorted himself out.
64 min: Tómasson wins a ball down the left and powers down the wing. His low cross is supposed for Óskarsson, who goes over below a problem from Cooper, however there’s no means it’s a penalty. Iceland have one other go, and this time Gudjohnsen slices a shot vast left.
62 min: The most effective type of defence is assault, and Cooper whistles a vicious daisy-cutter in direction of the bottom-left nook, forcing Valdimarsson to show across the submit. Nothing comes of the ensuing nook, however that’s higher from Wales.
60 min: Wales fail to clear the ensuing free kick correctly, permitting Gudmundsson the prospect to slash a shot vast proper from the sting of the field. Wales are discovering it troublesome to suppress Iceland’s second-half … what’s the phrase? … hwyl.
59 min: James is booked for sliding in on Gudmundsson. Studs on shin. There didn’t appear a lot malice within the problem, however the Wales midfielder was barely uncontrolled. He’s lucky the referee seems to be on him favourably. Others could have brandished purple.
57 min: Wales are rattled. Abruptly passes aren’t sticking, balls shanked out of play. On the touchline, Craig Bellamy seems to be involved. Thórdarson launches one other lengthy throw into the mixer. Moore attracts a foul from somebody within the packed field, and the stress is momentarily launched.
55 min: Thorsteinsson takes down a poor Welsh clearance and makes an attempt to barge his means clear down the inside-left channel. He can’t get a shot away, and is then adjudged to have dealt with. The whistle goes. However then Iceland come once more, the livewire Óskarsson taking down a right-wing cross and spinning on a sixpence earlier than launching a shot in direction of the highest proper. Ward catches spectacularly at full stretch. How on earth have Iceland not at the least lowered their arrears?
53 min: Óskarsson has come alive. He juggles the ball on the sting of the D to totally confuse Davies, earlier than slipping one other go vast proper, once more for Ellertsson, who once more is free. And once more he cocks it up, leaning again and shovelling hysterically over the bar. Someplace in a parallel universe, it’s 3-2 to Iceland. They’ve come flying out of the blocks after the break.
52 min: Iceland have clearly been given the hairdryer remedy at half-time, and never simply due to the temperature in Reykjavik. Moore makes an attempt to struggle hearth with hearth and is booked for clattering Ingason in mid-air.

He’s clear, however as a substitute of slotting along with his proper, opts to make use of his left peg as a substitute, twisting his physique uncomfortably earlier than slamming the shot inches vast.

48 min: Thórdarson launches an extended throw into the Wales mixer from the appropriate. Rodon, having taken an almighty run-up to fulfill the dropping ball, smashes a clearing header miles up the park. That was no-nonsense defending 101.

Wales get the second half underway. Iceland have made two adjustments, changing Finnsson and Willumsson with Tómasson and Ellertsson, whereas Wales have despatched on Burns instead of Johnson. By the way, within the different match in Group B4, it was goalless at half-time between Turkey and Montenegro. As issues stand, Wales will go two factors away from Turkey on the high of the desk.
Half-time studying. One bit of stories that wouldn’t have reached the UK final 12 months was the unhappy passing of Bjarni Felixson, the legendary and much-loved RÚV commentator, who died on the age of 86. I used to be lucky sufficient to interview this true gentleman just a few years in the past, so it’s solely proper we mark his passing on this journal for the file.

HALF TIME: Iceland 0-2 Wales

43 min: Wilson drops deep and slips a go down the center to launch Thomas, who can neither pressure the ball previous Valdimarsson nor take it round him. If solely Wilson might have gotten on the tip of his personal go.
41 min: Roberts is booked for … effectively, that’s not very clear both. A bit an excessive amount of yap? Delaying the restart? Talking of working one’s mouth off, Craig Bellamy responds to the choice by hollering “That’s fucking legal!” clearly and at a quantity that rings round all of Wales due to the S4C microphones. The wonders of contemporary know-how.
39 min: Thorsteinsson and Willumsson mix to win an extended ball down the center and tee up Gudmundsson on the sting of the Wales field. Gudmundsson shoots fiercely, however the shot’s deflected over the bar, and the flag then pops up anyway. Offside or a foul? Undecided, to be frank, however generally the main points don’t make a lot distinction. We play on. “Wales look effectively outlined, clear plan and construction,” says David Bowen. “Extremely, it seems to be like 3-2-5 in possession and after just a few years of pretty turgid ways, it’s a breath of contemporary air. Neco Williams having the 5 minutes of his life additionally helps.”
37 min: Gudmundsson goals the free kick for the top-right nook. Over the wall and over the bar. Not 1,000,000 miles away, however at all times going over, and Ward had it coated anyway.
36 min: Davies is spun with unlucky ease down the inside-right channel by Óskarsson, the Iceland striker displaying some pleasant ability with a dragback and swivel. A free kick simply to the appropriate of the Welsh D. The captain Gudmundsson to take.
34 min: That reserving means Williams will miss the house recreation towards Montenegro on Monday night time.
32 min: Earlier than the purpose kick will be taken, Thorsteinsson, holding onto the ball, has it knocked out of his hand from behind by Johnson. Thorsteinsson takes umbrage, and a handful of Johnson’s shirt. Johnson responds with a shove, flattening his opponent with suspicious ease, and goes into the guide.
31 min: Iceland almost hit again instantly! Finnsson is distributed into the Welsh field down the inside-left channel. He reaches the byline and cuts again for Gudjohnsen, who slams goalwards from the left-hand nook of the six-yard field in direction of the underside proper. It’s certainly a purpose, with Ward overwhelmed, however that man Neco Williams is available to hook off the road! The ball ultimately pings off a blue shirt and out for a purpose kick.
