Reykjavík hails Orri Óskarsson brace for Iceland | OneFootball

Orri Óskarsson lit up Reykjavík with two goals for Iceland against Bulgaria in Nations League C at Laugardalsvöllur, wearing the captain’s armband.

Diario Vasco notes that five Gipuzkoans spent their final holiday hours at Laugardalsvöllur, where a long autumn night made football the city’s diversion.

Before the opener, Petrov caught him with a heavy challenge. Iceland stitched together a crisp move and Óskarsson swept first time into the far corner beyond Naumov, then saluted family in the stands, with young Kopavogur supporters describing him as their idol.

Early in the second half, a switch to the right released a cross from Anderson and, again first time, he guided it into the net. He celebrated with a slide full of pent-up anger.

Naumov later saved his centrally struck penalty, denying a treble, and Óskarsson finished the night by teeing up Ellertsson. Iceland lead their group on seven points and could earn promotion. The Real Sociedad forward, dismissed for a second yellow at Mestalla and suspended for next Sunday against Deportivo at Anoeta, returns to San Sebastián buoyant, with Union Saint-Gilloise next.
