Isaac Price scored the decisive goal in Northern Ireland's hard-fought 1-0 victory over Iceland on Tuesday night. The 21-year-old "Albion" midfielder not only netted the winner but also earned the Player of the Match award for his performance at Windsor Park.
"It was a special moment to score at Windsor Park and help the team secure three points, especially after going down to ten men," Price might have said after his match-winning display.
The young midfielder controlled the contest just after the half-hour mark when he picked up the ball on the left side of the 18-yard box before curling a precise finish into the bottom corner. Classic composure from the youngster.
Price played 91 minutes of the match before being substituted in added time, having done the damage earlier in the game.
Interestingly, his "Albion" teammate Callum Styles was also in international action, helping his nation claim a win on the same evening. Though Price grabbed the headlines, both Albion players contributed to successful outings for their respective countries.
Can Price build on this performance when he returns to club duties? This international confidence boost might be just what the young midfielder needs.
