The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Björgólfur Rúnarsson took the kick off in the first half of the match. Björgólfur Rúnarsson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 7 minutes into the match, Liechtenstein's goalkeeper Gerd Beiro had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Eiríkur Baldursson. 9 minutes into the match, Iceland's goal looked a bit too open when Christoph Pollakowski came free, but Sveinungi Guðbjartsson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 11 minutes into the match, Eiríkur Baldursson notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Liechtenstein's Gerd Beiro.

Hjálmar Barðason hit a great ball. Iceland were awarded a corner in the 23th minute after Liechtenstein's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line.

Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand.

The audience was convinced that Björgólfur Rúnarsson's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gerd Beiro was relentless in the 82nd minute of the game. After some careless play in the Liechtenstein defense, Þorvarður Elísson kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gerd Beiro. The Liechtenstein fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Gerd Beiro should have stopped the shot. Iceland made a substitution. Beinir Jónsson replaced Hjálmar Barðason. Beinir Jónsson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Björgólfur Rúnarsson in the 90th minute of play forced Liechtenstein's goalkeeper Gerd Beiro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Björgólfur Rúnarsson received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Gerd Beiro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 96 minutes into the game, Iceland's Björgólfur Rúnarsson nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Gerd Beiro made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 4-0. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Iceland had played much better football throughout.
