FH Hafnarfjörður 2:0 Valur Reykjavík — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Jökull Andrésson was the standout performer as FH Hafnarfjörður beat Valur Reykjavík 2-0 in the Urvalsdeild, though no next fixture is set. The goalkeeper's commanding display underpinned a victory that, while convincing on the scoreboard, told a more complicated story than the final result suggests.

The game remained goalless until the 79th minute, when Gils Gíslason broke the deadlock for FH Hafnarfjörður without an assist. Gíslason struck again ten minutes later, this time finished off by Kristján Flóki Finnbogason's assist, to seal the win. Two yellow cards for FH — Arngrimur Bjartur Guðmundsson in the 41st minute and Tómas Orri Róbertsson in the 88th — and one for Valur's Lúkas Logi Heimisson in the 81st kept the contest tense, but no red cards or VAR interventions altered the flow.

FH Hafnarfjörður dominated the first half, holding 62% possession and firing 15 shots to Valur's three, yet failed to score. Valur wrestled back control after the break with 54% possession and 13 shots, but FH's 46% and nine efforts proved more efficient. On the overall numbers, FH had 55% possession, 24 shots to 16, and five corners to three — they created more but were outplayed in the second half. Jökull Andrésson earned an 8.5 rating as goalkeeper, the highest on the pitch, for his role in keeping a clean sheet. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Valur Reykjavík, but the result did not confirm that prediction, as FH outperformed expectations with clinical finishing.
