Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson has scored his first goal at Euro 2016 after putting Iceland 1-0 in front against Hungary in their Group E clash.
But Hungary had dominated possession throughout against an Iceland side content to defend and the pressure finally told in the 88th minute as Saevarsson turned a Nemanja Nikolic cross into his own net.
Hungary’s coach Bernd Storck, second right, runs with players, during a team training session at Centre Robert Louis Dreyfus, in Marseille, France, Friday, June 17, 2016. Several loud bangs were heard and there was a cloud of smoke, delaying the restart.
Iceland’s Gylfi Sigurdsson scores from the penalty spot to go ahead 1-0 in the first half against Hungary.
The penalty followed a chaotic scramble in the area after Kiraly caught, then dropped, a cross from Johann Gudmundsson.
“Oh yes, very different”, sighed co-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, when asked about the feelings after the two matches. “Some would say it was a soft penalty”.
“We were winning a lot of second balls but we should have kept calm and played the ball more”.
Sigurdsson hit a free kick into the defensive wall and substitute Eidur Gudjohsen fired the rebound against a Hungarian defender only for ball to deflect narrowly wide of the post.
