The delayed reaction in Iceland’s national stadium as the crowd watched the path of a stoppage-time effort from Kristinn Jonsson get carried towards the empty net by the wind summed up the chaotic end to another brutal experience with Breidablik for Shamrock Rovers.
Stephen Bradley’s side were already heading out of Europe when permission was given for Ed McGinty to go into the area for a dead ball that gave the visitors a chance of rescuing a point from a game they needed to win.
