Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Dagur Ingi Valsson scored and pulled the strings as Keflavík IF thrashed KA Akureyri 3-0 in the Urvalsdeild, a result that sets up a trip to Stjarnan Garðabær on 9 August. The hosts were ruthless in a devastating nine-minute spell that killed the contest before half-time.

The match turned decisively in the first half, with Sindri Snær Magnússon opening the scoring on 27 minutes before Valsson doubled the lead five minutes later from Axel Ingi Johannesson’s assist. Stefan Alexander Ljubicic made it three on 36 minutes, and though Eidur Orri Ragnarsson saw a second yellow on 62 minutes to reduce Keflavík to ten, KA never threatened a comeback. Markús Máni Pétursson and André Rømer were booked for the visitors in a scrappy, card-heavy affair.

The numbers told a tale of control without reward for the away side, who held 56% possession and matched Keflavík’s 16 shots yet failed to score. Keflavík’s efficiency was stark, with the first half decisive as they fired 12 shots to KA’s seven before shutting up shop. Valsson earned an 8.1 rating as the standout midfielder, justifying his rating with the goal that proved the killer blow. CheckLive’s model rated Keflavík the stronger side and the result confirmed it, with the live signal backing the favourites at 1.3.
