Towards the end of the half, the ball gets Payet and lashes a shot into the far corner. After another minute the score became 4:0, best scorer of the tournament, Grisman threw the ball over the goalkeeper.

The Icelanders looked lost, the game was not glued, inaccurate passes, errors in the defence, not a single dangerous moment at the beginning of the meeting. When you lose, there was nothing left, the Vikings went ahead. 57 min. Sigthö¨rsson is striking in the near corner of the French goal. But after a couple of minutes Olivier Giroud draws a double. On 85 minute the Icelanders again snarls, Bjarnason head puts the ball into the near corner. The final score was 5:2. All the stories end, eventually.
