The shocking victory of the Faroe Islands with Turkey
The match, which was held on Sunday evening, did not have much importance in the arrangement of the table. Turkey already took first place in Group A of Class C some time ago, so it could just be a formality for the team led by Stefan Koontz.
in the 41st minute the ball Kerim Akturkoglu sent the net into the net, but the referee did not recognize the kick due to offside. In the first quarter of the second half, the hosts hit two hits – in the 51st minute, Villigormore Davidson scored 1-0, and eight minutes later Joan Simon Edmondson moved to 2-0. The author of the honorary hit of the Turks in the 89th minute was Serdar Gürler.
All Faroe Islands residents will fit into the National Stadium
How much sense it was can best be demonstrated by the facts surrounding the game. The population of the Faroe Islands is about 49,000, which is less, for example, than the inhabitants of Ostruka, Rasiborz, Zgiers, Schwednica, Peshatov, Przymol, Chem and Tomazov Mazowiecki. Turkey’s population, in turn, is over 84 million, or about 1,726 times.
Given the population of the Faroe Islands, a comparison with the number of seats in individual stadiums is also interesting. It turns out that all residents of this country will fit the National Stadium (58.5 thousand seats) or the Olympic Stadium. Ataturk in Istanbul (75,000 seats). The stadium in Thorshavn, where players from the Faroe Islands play, has only 6000 seats.
