Halfway through the European Championship qualifying campaign Iceland has excellent papers directly for placing the final round of the European Football Championships. The Scandinavian team stands after the 0-3 victory in Astana in Kazakhstan on the shared first place in Group A, where the Dutch occupied the third place.
Eidur Gudjohnsen was Saturday afternoon after 20 minutes finally some accurate for the Icelanders. The 36-year-old striker scored Bolton for the last time in 2009 for his country.
The Kazakhs looked after half an hour already at a 0-2 deficit after Birkir Bjarnason free kick Gylfi Sigurdsson with his silvered head.
In injury time Bjarnason scored his second goal, 0-3. Striker Kolbeinn Sigthórsson Ajax played 70 minutes for Iceland.
As co-leader Czech Republic tonight (18.00) points up against Latvia go Czechs again alone in the lead.
Still later in the evening (20.45) Netherlands plays in the sold out Amsterdam ArenA against Turkey. These two countries compete for the coveted third place in their pool which entitles them to the playoffs.
