The hosts put the result beyond doubt inside the opening half-hour, Arnór Traustason converting Asgeir Galdur Gudmundsson's assist on 25 minutes before Eidur Gauti Saebjornsson struck unassisted four minutes later.

Saebjornsson added his second of the match from open play six minutes after the restart, and Sigurðarson then took centre stage, scoring from Gabriel Hrannar Eyjólfsson's pass on 54 minutes before completing his own double with an unassisted finish on 61.
