2002 World Cup - Iceland 1 Denmark 2

First Published: Sep 03, 2000

Denmark got its first victory in Group C beating Iceland in Rejkjavic in a winning start for their new coaching team.

The Icelandic side opened the scoring when goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel failed to hold Rikhardur Dadason's header and Eyjolfur Sverrison got the loose ball and only had to push it into the net.

However, Jon Dahl Tomasson levelled the score in the 26th minute with a low shot near the right post. Morten Bisgard got the winner in the 49th making the most of a rebound from a shot by Dennis Rommerdahl.

Though Iceland still had time to recover their hopes these ended in the 74th minute when striker Brynjar Bjorn Gunnarson was sent off.
