Victor Palsson Contributes to Iceland’s Nations League Victory

Victor Palsson has made 46 appearances for Iceland during his career. Plymouth Argyle defender Victor Palsson contributed to Iceland’s 2-0 victory over Montenegro in their Uefa Nations League B match. The 33-year-old, who has played six times for the Pilgrims since joining in the summer, entered the game in the 19th minute as a substitute for the injured captain Aron Gunnarsson and remained on the field for the remainder of the match. Iceland scored twice in the final 16 minutes, solidifying their third-place position in their group, behind Wales and Turkey. Should Iceland defeat Wales in Cardiff on Tuesday, they would advance to second place and secure a promotion play-off spot. Meanwhile, fellow Argyle defender Kornel Szucs was an unused substitute as Hungary suffered a 4-0 defeat to the Netherlands in Amsterdam. Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo was among the goal scorers, a result that extended the second-placed Dutch team’s lead over third-placed Hungary to three points. Szucs’ side is scheduled to face group leaders Germany in their concluding match on Tuesday; the Germans have already secured the top position in the group.
