Fram Reykjavík 3:1 Stjarnan Garðabær — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Róbert Hauksson scored twice as Fram Reykjavík beat Stjarnan Garðabær 3-1 in the Urvalsdeild, a result that leaves the champions of this particular evening with little to complain about despite the visitors holding the ball for long spells. The home side were clinical when it mattered, converting three of their fourteen attempts while Stjarnan managed just one goal from their dozen.

The turning point arrived inside a frantic seven-minute spell before half-time. Emil Atlason had drawn Stjarnan level on 34 minutes, finishing Jóhann Árni Gunnarsson’s assist, but Fram responded immediately through Hauksson’s second goal on 39 minutes, Vuk Oskar Dimitrijevic providing the assist. Mar Aegisson then settled the contest on 62 minutes, again set up by Dimitrijevic, while the away side’s frustration showed in late yellow cards for Bjarki Hauksson and Gunnarsson.

The numbers tell an honest story of a side that dominated without reward. Stjarnan held sixty per cent of possession and won eight corners to four, yet Fram’s second-half display was the more threatening, registering eight shots after the break to their opponents’ two. Hauksson was the standout with his rating of 8.9 out of ten, his two goals from the forward position proving decisive in a match where the run of play seldom matched the scoreline.
