The deceased Icelandic equalizer shock Silkeborg in qualification for the conference league
A wonderful curling effort in the upper left corner in injury time gave Icelandic foreigners, Ka Akureyri a sensational 1-1 draw against Silkeborg when the two parties met Wednesday evening in the second round of the qualification of the conference league.
Silkeborg generally dominated the match against Akureyri and also produced the majority of chances.
However, the local team had to wait 40 minutes to tell their domination when the Icelandic defensive wall finally collapsed.
After checking a Pelle Mattson pass, the New Zealand international midfielder Callum McCowatt launched a tremendous long-range spicy promenade from the outside of the box in the upper right corner to give the household crowd something to encourage in a generally disappointing first half for Danish favorites.
However, Icelandic visitors, who had the former Lyngby Marcel Romer player in their departure alignment have never abandoned.
After about an hour of play, the Akureyri striker, Asgeir Sigurgeirsson, almost equalized with an effort at close range, but the ball passed right after the post.
It seemed that Silkeborg was heading for a narrow victory that would have placed them in the driving seat before the return leg in Iceland in a week, but that did not work in this way.
The 34 -year -old Icelandic striker Hallgrimur Steingrimsson was authorized in time and space to control a long -term delivery in the Danish box a minute in injury time and hammered the ball in the distant corner on the left without any chance for the Silkeborg Defense goalkeeper Nicolai Poulsen.
If Silkeborg still manages to progress in the third qualification round for the conference league, the Jutland team will face the winner of the match between FK Novi Pazar from Serbia and the Polish outfit Jagiellie.
