The Scandinavian side came out blazing as goals from Andri Runar Bjarnson, Kjartan Finnbogason, Ottar Magnus Karlsson, Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson, Hjoertur Hermannsson and Holmar Oern Eyjolfsson gave the Iceland B team an emphatic win in the encounter.

Iceland is set to lock horns with the main Indonesian national team on Sunday in another test game.
