After advancing to the World Cup with Iceland, Vidar Kjartansson continued to find the back of the goal for the Yellow & Blue. The Icelander scored the winning goal in an important 2:0 victory over Bnei Yehuda:
“It was very important to win. We weren’t good enough in the first half, we had chances but couldn’t score. It was a very tough match, their keeper was in good shape but we showed character and I’m happy that we were able to win even though we weren’t at our best.”
Getting the results:
“We played well over the last few matches but we couldn’t get the results that we wanted. Today was the exact opposite. We have to find the right way to play well, punish our opponents and take advantage of our chances. It’s still good to win though after two draws and we have to continue like this.”
Advancing to the World Cup with Iceland:
“It’s fantastic to advance to the World Cup and we have had a great national team over the last few years. It’s pretty hard to believe that we did it and we had a pretty tough group. A lot of things came together for us. Now I have to make sure that I’m in good shape so I can be a part of the team that will go to Russia.”
