ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar 1:2 Fram Reykjavík — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Fram Reykjavík edged out ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar 2-1 in the Urvalsdeild, with Vicente Valor's late consolation proving insufficient as the visitors claimed the points. The result extends Fram's winning run, though no next fixture is confirmed for either side.

Fram struck early through Sigurður Arnar Magnússon in the 16th minute, before Freyr Sigurdsson doubled the lead just before the interval in the 44th. The away side had already been reduced to ten men before kick-off, with a red card shown to an unnamed player in the pre-match period, yet they controlled the contest throughout. ÍBV pushed for a response and got one when Vicente Valor found the net in the 78th minute, but the hosts could not force an equaliser despite sustained pressure.

The statistics tell a tale of possession without reward for ÍBV, who dominated the ball with 64% against Fram's 36% and fired 12 shots to the visitors' eight. Yet Fram were the sharper side on the counter, and the numbers from the second half showed ÍBV's control waning as they managed just five attempts after the break. Vicente Valor was the standout performer for the hosts, earning a 7.6 rating with his goal from midfield. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Fram Reykjavík and the result confirmed that prediction.
