Birkir Bjarnason – 8.5

A knock to the face early on in the game meant he was hindered by a bloody nose for most of the first half but this didn’t stop him getting in the Croatian players faces, seemingly always close at hand to apply direct pressure to the ball.

Alfreo Finnbogason- 6.5

Great vision for through balls but more often than not the weight was just too much to reach its target.

Subs

Bjorn Bergmann Siguroarson- 6

Fresh legs arriving just when Iceland needed them he looked dangerous down the right side but was unable to create any real scoring opportunities.

Albert Guomundsson N/A

Just under ten minutes wasn’t enough time to have an impact on the game.

Arnor Ingvi Traustason N/A

With only five minutes on the pitch his impact was restricted to winning a corner to give Iceland a chance to equalise in the last minute.
