Fylkir did the damage early. The home side transformed the match into a one-sided contest in the opening 45 minutes, stacking up four goals before the interval and leaving UMF Njardvik with far too much ground to make up. By half-time, the score had already given the game its shape, and the hosts were firmly in command.
The second half followed a simpler script. Njardvik managed to pull one back after the restart, but that was as close as they came. Fylkir stayed in control, protected their cushion and saw out the match without letting the visitors build real momentum. In the end, the result rested almost entirely on that explosive first-half burst.
It also marked a sharp swing from the most recent league meeting between the teams, when Njardvik won 2-0 on home soil. This time Fylkir flipped the story emphatically in front of their own supporters. The final score, the first-half split and the overall flow of the contest told the story clearly, and the post-match stats will reflect a game that was effectively settled long before the final whistle.
