Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Stigur Diljan Thordarson struck in the 38th minute as Víkingur Reykjavík edged FC Thun 3-2 in the UEFA Europa League Qualification Round 3. The home side twice trailed in a frantic opening half-hour but rallied before the interval to take a lead they never relinquished. Thordarson's equaliser just before the break proved the platform for a hard-fought victory.

Fabio Fehr put Thun ahead inside ten minutes, but Gylfi Sigurðsson levelled for Víkingur in the 16th minute with Viktor Örlygur Andrason providing the assist. Brighton Labeau restored the visitors' lead on 35 minutes, only for Thordarson to respond three minutes later from Karl Friðleifur Gunnarsson's pass. Valdimar Þór Ingimundarson's unassisted strike in the 55th minute settled a contest that saw eight yellow cards but no red.

Víkingur controlled the numbers, holding 56% possession against Thun's 44%, though the visitors took three corners to the home side's two. The hosts were the better side in both halves, yet Thun's efficiency in front of goal kept the tie alive until the final whistle. Thordarson was the standout with a rating of 9.98 out of ten, his goal from midfield capping a commanding display. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Víkingur, and the result confirmed it, though the live signal backing Thun at 1.8 was lost.
