FH had to wait for the breakthrough, but once it arrived the contest turned quickly. The game remained scoreless deep into the second half before Gislason finally put the home side ahead at 78'58''. That goal changed the feel of the match, forcing Valur to chase an equaliser in the final minutes.
Instead, FH found the decisive second goal. Gislason returned at 88'31'' to double the lead and close out the win, capping the result with a clinical late finish. The scoreline reflected how sharply the home side took their chances when the opening came.
The stats line ends with a clean sheet for FH and no reply from Valur, and that was ultimately the difference. Before this round, Valur sat fifth in the league table while FH were 10th, so the home side will view this as a timely lift. For Valur, it was a frustrating afternoon after staying in the game for so long, only to see it slip away in the final stretch.
