The Faroe Islands continued their remarkable qualifying campaign with a 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic, making it four wins from their last five matches. The result follows their stunning 4-0 triumph against Montenegro just days earlier — a run of form that has turned Europe’s minnows into serious contenders. All three goals arrived in the closing stages. Hanus Sørensen opened the scoring for the Faroes, before Adam Karabec equalised for the Czechs. But in the 81st minute, Martin Agnarsson sealed a famous win with a composed finish that sent the Tórshavn crowd into rapture.
The victory leaves the Faroe Islands just one point behind second-placed Czech Republic in Group L, while Croatia remain top of the pool after a 3-0 win over Gibraltar, holding a game in hand and a three-point cushion. For the Faroe Islands this week marks a historic moment — proof that even one of Europe’s smallest footballing nations can dream of reaching the sport’s biggest stage.
