Iceland romped to a 5-0 victory over Azerbaijan in a FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) match on September 6, 2025. This was a statement win for Iceland at home, as they dismantled Azerbaijan with a clinical and powerful display of football. Iceland scored early and often, netting three times in the first half to kill the game as a contest. They added two more goals in the second period to complete the rout, with their attacking players finding plenty of space against a overwhelmed Azerbaijani defense. Azerbaijan offered little in response, failing to register a single meaningful shot on target throughout the ninety minutes. The massive win provided a huge boost to Iceland's goal difference and confidence early in the qualifying group, while Azerbaijan were left with a mountain to climb. The Iceland manager praised his team's intensity, and the Azerbaijan coach described it as a bad day at the office. Both teams' starting elevens were outclassed in this fixture.
