The Icelandic commentary for their winning goal against Austria is the greatest thing you’ll ever hear

A thing of beauty

SportsJOE

The greatest thing you’ll ever hear.

That’s not even that big an overstatement.

Four minutes into stoppage time Iceland secured their first ever victory in a major tournament and set up a last-16 clash against England next Monday.

That’s Iceland, a country with a popular of 323,000 people, in the last-16 of the European Championships. Incredible.

As Austria pushed for the winner they needed – a goal which would have eliminated Iceland – they were caught on the break and substitute Arnor Ingvi Traustason slotted the ball home at the back post.

Cue wild celebrations and some of the greatest commentary you will ever, ever hear.

You really need to turn the volume up full for this. You won’t be disappointed.
