There was disappointment in Iceland as the Republic of Ireland Under-21s lost their unbeaten record in their European Championship qualifier today.

Sveinn Aron Gudjohnsen slotted home a penalty in the first half after the referee awarded a spot-kick for a handball by Waterford's Lee O'Connor.

The boys in green dominated the second-half but couldn't find the break-through as O'Connor was sent off for a second booking.
