Once Afturelding moved in front before the break, the game stayed locked there. IR Reykjavik went into the dressing room 0-1 down and could not find a route back in the second half, while the visitors did enough to close the contest out and take the win on the road.
The result stood in sharp contrast to the clubs' previous 1. deild meeting, when IR Reykjavik won 7-4 away to Afturelding. This time there was no flood of goals and no late twist - just a disciplined defensive job from the away side after that decisive first-half breakthrough.
For the table, the score mattered. Afturelding sit third on 31 points from 15 matches, while IR Reykjavik are 10th with 16 points from 16 games. The stats and highlights will not read like a classic, but the visitors will not care. Their clean sheet and solitary goal were enough to settle the night, and that was the only summary that counted.
