The voices:
Irene Fuhrmann (ÖFB team manager): “It was a well-earned point, basically it was a duel on equal terms. We were definitely not at our limit and the Icelandic women played to their strengths. We seemed nervous at the beginning and in the second half we stopped playing football. We were more dangerous in the last few games than today, the quality of the final pass was not there. The disappointment clearly outweighs everything when you see the penalty as it was given. Nevertheless, it is also the case that we are still on target and anything is still possible.”
Sarah Puntigam (ÖFB captain): “It feels like we lost two points because we were in the lead and felt like we lost control of the game in the second half. We can definitely do better, but that’s annoying, of course. In the first half we controlled the game and were the better team. It is what it is, we are still right on target.”
Marina Georgieva (ÖFB defender): “In my opinion, it wasn’t a penalty because I deliberately placed my hand on my body. I don’t think I could have placed it any closer. I wouldn’t know where to put my hand to prevent it from being a penalty. You don’t have to give it, you can probably give it somehow, but I’m not a trained referee, I can only say what I feel.”
Glodis Viggosdottir (Iceland goalscorer): “In the first half they were a bit better in parts, in the second half we were much better. Basically we are on the same level, the one who is in better shape on the day will win these games. It was pretty even, we created the better chances, so we are a bit disappointed that we didn’t win.”
