In the end it was 2:0 for the Icelandic team.

In a post on the website, it is stated that the sports public after the defeat in Iceland "talked more about the behavior of our players, than about their incredible fight and desire during the entire 90 minutes, a third of that time with two players less in the field, with tendentious waving records and the home trial of arbitrator Denis Šurman".
"We repeat, there is no justification for the behavior, but we want at least our public to hear the other (our) side of the story. Because, not counting the fair welcome of the Breidablik administration, everything else that we experienced in Iceland does not serve the honor of the host," the announcement states. The future.
"The fact is that the players of Breidablik provoked our boys with insulting words from the start, that one of their players non-stop said inappropriate things in a language similar to ours, that the Icelanders kicked without the ball while the referee 'pretended' not to see, that the crowd near the Future box was hostile...", reads the post with the conclusion that it is "too many coincidences not to be part of the Icelandic strategy".
