Iceland Division 3 | 5 July 2026

UMF Vidir cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Tindastoll Sauda on a bright Sunday afternoon in Garðabær. The result extends Vidir’s unbeaten home run and keeps them in the promotion conversation, while Tindastoll remain rooted towards the bottom of the fourth tier.

Match Overview

Vidir dominated from the opening minutes, with their midfield controlling possession and creating numerous chances. The first goal arrived in the 22nd minute after a slick combination on the left flank ended with a low cross turned in at the near post. They doubled the lead just before half-time through a well‑struck free kick from the edge of the box.

The second half saw Tindastoll try to push forward, but Vidir’s defence, marshalled by an experienced centre‑half, held firm. Any hopes of a comeback were dashed when Vidir added a third goal midway through the half from a corner routine. Tindastoll’s frustration grew, and they ended the match with ten men after a second yellow card for a reckless challenge.

Key Moments

• 22' – Vidir break the deadlock with a clinical near‑post finish.
• 44' – Free kick goal to make it 2‑0 just before the break.

Standout Players

Vidir’s left winger was the architect of the first goal and caused problems all match with his dribbling. The goalkeeper was largely untroubled but made one excellent save to preserve the clean sheet. For Tindastoll, the central midfielder worked hard but received little support from his teammates.

League Context
