An inconstant France had to fight to edge past a brave Iceland
10.09.25 / 08:19
France held on with 10 men to beat Iceland 2-1 after coming from behind thanks to a goal and assist from Mbappé.
Iceland took a surprise lead when Michael Olise gave away the ball in his own penalty area and Andri Gudjohnsen pounced on it to score. Mbappé finally got France into the game when he converted a penalty just before halftime after being shoved by Mikael Anderson.
Mbappé led a break for the second goal and set up Bradley Barcola to score in the 62nd but France's task got harder when Aurélien Tchouaméni was sent off soon after.
The turning-point was just a couple of minutes before the final whistle. Iceland had scored a deserved level, but after VAR revision the goal was disallowed sothat France could celebrate their win.
