International Friendlies

Cyprus played hosts to Iceland today in preparation for their respective 2012 European Championship campaigns. Even though the game ended scoreless, both sides learned a lot about their opponents for the upcoming qualifying ties.

Both teams enjoyed spells of possession in the first-half, but perhaps the best chance of the first period came when Andreas Papathanasiou failed only marginally to connect to a fantastic goalmouth cross from Dimitris Christofi.

Iceland put the pressure on the hosts after the break though, as Rurik Gislason managed to rattle the crossbar twice with blistering long-range efforts. With no goals to their names, the sides have plenty to think about before they meet again before 2012.
