😱 Mbappé overtakes Henry, Olise sets up Gudjohnsen’s goal 🎁 | OneFootball

Iceland broke the deadlock against France at the Parc des Princes: 1-0 in the 22nd minute, scored by Gudjohnsen before Les Bleus turned the game around.

What caused a stir was not only the temporary score, but above all Michael Olise’s huge blunder while trying to clear the ball.

Olise’s Gift! 7th for Gudjohnsen, Gudmundsson “caught up”

During the build-up, Olise dropped back into the penalty area, was pressed, and inexplicably made a bad pass, gifting the ball in the box to Andri Gudjohnsen.

The Blackburn Rovers striker had a clear path to beat Maignan: an unexpected goal that marks Gudjohnsen’s 7th in official competitions (10 in total including friendlies).

The 2002-born player thus catches up with Albert Gudmundsson in terms of goals scored in official matches (excluding friendlies).

🎓 Mbappé surpasses Henry! Miraculous Olafsson

In the first half, however, the best player on the pitch was Olafsson: the Iceland goalkeeper made 6 saves and prevented 1.18 xG from shots by Koné, Mbappé, and Thuram. The only one to beat him was Mbappé, who scored from the penalty spot at 45+1': the penalty was awarded after a VAR review for a foul on Thuram.

With this goal, Kylian Mbappé reaches 52 goals in 92 matches: surpassing Thierry Henry, who had 51 goals in 123 games.

In the second half, Mbappé also provided the assist for Barcolà’s open-goal 2-1 at the 62nd minute.

🟥 Tchouameni gets sent off

In the 68th minute, Tchouameni was sent off for a serious foul on Thorsteinsson: the referee changed the card from yellow to red after reviewing the incident on the monitor.

The VAR was once again decisive, leading the referee to disallow Iceland’s equalizer: Gudjohnsen scored again but held back Konaté before shooting in the box.
