Fylkir set the tone early and never let Vestri settle. A 5-0 halftime score told the story of the opening 45 minutes, with the away side ruthless in front of goal and firmly in control of the result before the break. By the time the hosts regrouped, the contest had already tilted beyond rescue.
To Vestri's credit, the home side responded after halftime and at least restored some pride with two goals in the second period. That improved the look of the scoreline, but it never truly changed the direction of the night. The key highlights had already arrived in Fylkir's devastating first-half spell, and the visitors were able to see out the match from there.
The result leaves Fylkir Reykjavik third in the table on 33 points after 17 matches, while IF Vestri remain eighth on 21 points from 17 games. That gives the summary a clear shape: Fylkir took command early, finished with authority, and claimed a valuable away win in the promotion chase, while Vestri were left to reflect on a punishing first half despite the better response after the interval.
