SIGURDSSON ICELAND MISSES FROM THE PENALTY SPOT : NIGERIA VS ICELAND (2-0)
The Icelandic team lost the battle in the second half. Their energy levels were lower than those of the Nigerians and they lost too many individual battles everywhere on the pitch. One-on-one situations were indeed the moments where the Nigerian players were at their best.
The No10, his country's most influential and technically proficient player, reflects after firing his penalty over the crossbar.
After an on-pitch VAR review, the original decision to award a goal-kick was overturned. Gylfi Sigurdsson did not take advantage of the opportunity to reduce the deficit though, blasting the resulting spot kick over the crossbar.
