Overview

• Hanus Sorensen put the Faroes ahead and Martin Agnarsson struck the winner three minutes after Adam Karabec had leveled for Czechia.
• The Faroe Islands have won three straight qualifiers, including a 4-0 victory over Montenegro, to climb to third in Group L.
• They trail second-place Czechia by a single point, with unbeaten Croatia leading the group by three and holding a dominant goal difference.
• To reach the UEFA play-offs, the Faroes need a result away to Croatia in November and for Czechia to drop points against Gibraltar, who have never won a World Cup qualifier.
• With a population around 55,000, the Faroes would become the smallest nation ever to reach a World Cup, surpassing Iceland’s 2018 benchmark.
