After a scoreless first half in which Denmark dictated the tempo, Yussuf Poulsen created the first goal six minutes after the restart, pulling the ball back to give Joergensen an easy finish.

Pouslen was involved again three minutes later, passing to Christian Eriksen, who squared unselfishly to Joergensen for a simple second.

Arnor Ingvi Traustason thumped home a consolation goal for the visitors in the 90th minute.

Iceland are preparing for their first taste of tournament football at Euro 2016 where they will face Portugal, Hungary and Austria in Group F.

Denmark missed out on the tournament after losing a playoff to Sweden.
