Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Lúkas Logi Heimisson scored twice for Valur Reykjavík but it was not enough, as Fram Reykjavík won 3-2 in a frantic Urvalsdeild encounter. The midfielder's brace was ultimately overshadowed by a devastating three-goal burst from the visitors inside seven first-half minutes.

Fram seized control in devastating fashion after Valur's early lead through Heimisson. Freyr Sigurdsson levelled in the 22nd minute from Ægir Jarl Jónasson's assist, and Haraldur Einar Ásgrímsson put them ahead just four minutes later, again supplied by Jónasson. Fred Saraiva then made it 3-1 in the 28th minute before Valur's hopes were dented further when Bjarni Mark Antonsson received a second yellow card in the 68th minute.

Despite the defeat, Valur controlled possession with 59% and had 17 shots to Fram's 21, though the visitors created more chances from open play with ten corners to six and dominated the first half with 13 shots. Lúkas Logi Heimisson was the standout performer, earning a 9.2 rating for his two goals from midfield.
