The Iceland National Team will take part in the 2018 World Cup this summer in Russia and this evening Maccabi striker Vidar Kjartansson took center stage. The Icelander who is looking to secure a spot in the final squad grabbed the opportunity to start for his country with both hands as he scored a 26th minute goal in a 1:1 draw at Qatar.

Iceland Head Coach Heimer Hallgrimsson wholesale changes at the half and subbed out Kjartansson in favor of Kjartan Finnbogasan as Qatar drew even deep into second half injury time (91) thanks to a Mohammed Muntari goal.

Predrag Rajikovic was in the Serbia squad but didn’t play against South Korea in a 1:1 draw, while this past Friday he kept a clean sheet for the final 45 minutes in a 2:0 win over China.
