ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar 1:3 ÍA Akranes — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Viktor Jonsson scored once and set up another as ÍA Akranes beat ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar 3-1 in the Urvalsdeild, a result that extends their winning run without a defined next fixture to consider. The away side took control early, and despite a late home rally, the scoreline never truly flattered them.

Haukur Andri Haraldsson opened the scoring in the 39th minute from Jón Gísli Eyland Gíslason’s assist, and Markús Páll Ellertsson doubled the lead shortly after the break with Jonsson providing the pass. Omar Sowe pulled one back for the hosts in the 67th minute via Alex Freyr Hilmarsson, but Jonsson restored the two-goal cushion in the 72nd minute, finishing from Gísli Eyjólfsson’s delivery.

The numbers tell a curious tale: ÍBV had 61% possession but mustered only nine corners against two, while shots were level at twelve apiece. The home side dominated the second half with 80% of the ball yet still lost the half on the scoreboard, outplayed on efficiency. Jonsson was the standout with a rating of 8.9, his goal and assist from the forward berth decisive. CheckLive's model rated ÍA Akranes the stronger side, and the result confirmed it, with the live signal backing the away win.
