The Icelandic Cup match between IA Akranes and UMF Afturelding ended with a narrow 0-1 victory for Afturelding. The decisive moment came in the second half when Afturelding managed to score slightly over an hour into the game. Despite Akranes having a higher number of corner kicks, totaling 12 compared to Afturelding's 3, they couldn't capitalize on these set-piece opportunities to alter the scoreline.

Discipline played a significant role in the match outcome, with Akranes accumulating three yellow cards. Although Afturelding received two yellow cards, their effective management of fouls avoided any game-altering infractions, despite a late red card which did not impact the final score. Afturelding’s resilience even when reduced to ten men demonstrated strong defensive cohesion.

Akranes struggled with offsides twice, disrupting their attacking momentum. In contrast, Afturelding maintained better attacking discipline with no offsides, contributing to their slightly superior tactical execution. Ultimately, Afturelding's ability to exploit their chances effectively, coupled with a disciplined defensive approach despite disciplinary issues, allowed them to secure the victory.
