England could not say goodbye to its people with a victory prior to the Euro Cup and fell 0-1 against Iceland at Wembley Stadium.
Gareth Southgate practically lined up your best team, which could not be articulated successfully. Proof of this were the rival’s constant attacks that bore fruit in the 12th minute.
Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson received a pass from Hákon Haraldsson on the edge of the area, cut back and fired a well-placed shot past Aaron Ramsdale.
Cole Palmer tried to equalize five minutes later, but his shot was misdirected and ended up being denied.
England took the lead, but the Icelandic defense caused them to be offside again and again.
In the second half, the ‘Vikings’ once again showed their offensive with punctual arrivals from Andri Gudjohnsen and Hákon Haraldsson that Ramsdale ended up controlling.
At 64′ Southgate made four simultaneous changes looking for Bukayo Saka, Joe Gomez, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold They gave freshness to the attack.
However, the adjustments did not bear fruit and Iceland took the victory in London.
