Overview

  • Hanus Sörensen scored in the 67th minute and Martin Agnarsson netted in the 81st after Adam Karabec’s 78th-minute equalizer for Czechia.
  • The Faroe Islands have won three qualifiers in a row for the first time, following a 4-0 win over Montenegro and two victories in this window.
  • The result moves the Faroes to 12 points in Group L, one behind second-placed Czechia, with both teams at +4 goal difference.
  • To reach the play-offs, the Faroes need at least a draw away to group leader Croatia on 14 November, plus Czechia to drop points against Gibraltar on 17 November.
  • The upset underscores the scale of the campaign for the nation of about 55,000 people, ranked 136th by FIFA, which has never qualified for a World Cup.
