Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Arnór Traustason scored inside four minutes as KR Reykjavík thrashed Fram Reykjavík 5-2 in the Urvalsdeild, the midfielder’s early strike setting the tone for a dominant away display. The visitors never looked back after that opening salvo, and the result keeps their momentum rolling without a confirmed next fixture on the horizon.

The match was effectively decided inside the opening half hour, with Traustason’s fourth-minute goal followed by Eidur Gauti Saebjornsson’s sixth-minute effort and his second of the afternoon on 29 minutes, the latter assisted by Traustason. Fram pulled one back through Kennie Knak Chopart just before the break, and he struck again on the hour, but Ástbjörn Þórðarson restored the three-goal cushion on 73 minutes before Asgeir Galdur Gudmundsson added a fifth four minutes later.

The numbers tell a clear story of KR’s control, as they held 54% possession and fired 24 shots to Fram’s 17, with the away side also dictating both halves on the pressure front. Traustason was the standout with a rating of 8.6 out of ten, his goal and assist from midfield underpinning the victory. CheckLive’s model rated KR marginally ahead, and the result confirmed that read.
