MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
8’: GOAL! WALES 0-1 ICELAND (GUDJOHNSEN) It’s there, and Wales are behind so early! Williams doesn’t deal with a deep cross, as Oskarsson powers a header at goal from Gudmundsson’s cross. Ward makes a great save, getting up, but Gudjohnsen is onto the rebound, and he slots between Ward’s legs to open the scoring.
32’: GOAL! WALES 1-1 ICELAND (CULLEN) Wales are level, and it’s Liam Cullen! The home side deserve that, they’ve been very good in the last ten minutes. Rodon switches play for Johnson, who has Williams in support. The full-back returns it to Johnson, who swings in a left-footed cross, and Cullen glances a header into the far corner! 1-1!
45+1’: GOAL! WALES 2-1 ICELAND (CULLEN) That’s the elusive goal that Wales were looking for, and it’s Cullen who doubles his money! Dan James does really well when he’s slid in by Harris, and he goes for goal but is denied by Valdimarsson, but Cullen is there to slide the rebound home!
65’: GOAL! WALES 3-1 ICELAND (JOHNSON) It’s three, and it’s the man in form, Brennan Johnson! A slick counter attack, harrying the Icelandic midfield, as Cullen claims possession and slides a perfect pass in for Johnson, who speeds down the right. He bears down on goal, and slots it into the far corner with aplomb.
79’: GOAL! WALES 4-1 ICELAND (WILSON) It’s four, and that is a sensational strike from Wilson! It’s route one stuff from the home side, as Ward goes long towards Cullen, who makes the ball stick and has Ingason struggling. Wilson picks up the pieces and hits it superbly, with the effort dipping into the bottom corner!
