Iceland rue penalty miss in draw against Belgium in Euro opener

Iceland were left to rue a missed penalty in a 1-1 draw with Belgium in their women's European Championship Group D match on Sunday after Berglind Thorvaldsdottir's opener was cancelled out by Justine Vanhaevermaet.

In front of just 3,859 fans at the Academy Stadium, Iceland had the opportunity to take the lead in the first half when Belgium conceded a penalty for a handball but Thorvaldsdottir's tame effort was easily saved by goalkeeper Nicky Evrard.
