In the clash between UMF Selfoss and Fjolnir, it was Fjolnir who came out on top with a narrow 2-1 victory. One of the most compelling aspects of this match was the adept early attacking performance from Fjolnir, which allowed them to take a decisive 2-0 lead by the 30th minute. This quick start provided them with a cushion, enabling them to manage the game more conservatively. The goals, scored within the first half-hour, highlight a potent attacking phase where they capitalized on defensive lapses by Selfoss.

Selfoss attempted a comeback shortly after Fjolnir's second goal and managed to reduce the deficit with a goal in the 34th minute. The home team's ability to rally quickly following such a setback demonstrated their resilience and capacity to penetrate Fjolnir’s defenses when pressured. Despite generating 10 corner kicks, compared to Fjolnir's 8, Selfoss could not effectively convert these set-piece opportunities into goals. This inefficiency was a critical difference between the sides, as Fjolnir's clinical early finishes set the stage for their ultimate victory.

Disciplinary issues were notably more pronounced in the second half, particularly from Fjolnir, who accumulated four yellow cards to Selfoss's two. The increased fouling by the away side indicates a strategic shift towards a more defensive, disruptive game to maintain their lead. This ill-discipline, manifested in frequent carding, could have jeopardized their control but ultimately wasn't penalized with a red card. Fjolnir's tactical adjustments, although risky, allowed them to effectively negate Selfoss's attacking threats in the second half and maintain their narrow winning margin.
