Related Topics: History, Willy Caballero

Gylfi Sigurdsson helped Iceland claim a historic first World Cup point as they came from behind to draw with two-times winners Argentina on their tournament debut.

Iceland had never previously played a game at a World Cup finals but showed all the endeavour and application that led them to the European Championship quarter-finals two years ago to frustrate Lionel Messi and Co and open their Group D campaign with a memorable point.

After Sergio Aguero had brilliantly fired Argentina ahead with what was his first ever World Cup goal on 19 minutes, Sigurdsson was heavily involved as Iceland mustered a quick response.
