Alftanes Women 1–4 KR Reykjavik (W) | Iceland Women 2 Deild – 20 June 2026

KR Reykjavik’s women’s side extended their unbeaten run to six matches with a commanding 4‑1 victory away at Alftanes Women on Saturday evening. The result keeps KR firmly in the promotion race, while Alftanes remain in the bottom half of the Iceland Women 2 Deild table after a third loss in four outings.

First‑half control

KR asserted authority from the opening whistle, pressing high and cutting off Alftanes’ attempts to build from the back. The breakthrough came in the 14th minute when winger Helga Rún Pálsdóttir curled a free‑kick over the wall and into the top corner. Alftanes responded with a rare counter‑attack, and forward Embla Sif Jónsdóttir equalised in the 31st minute with a crisp finish after a defensive mix‑up. However, KR restored their lead just before the interval through a composed close‑range goal from striker Katrín Ósk Ólafsdóttir.

Second‑half dominance

The second period belonged entirely to the visitors. KR’s midfield trio of Margrét Dögg Bjarnadóttir, Brynhildur Eva Jóhannsdóttir and Þuríður Sif Stefánsdóttir dictated the tempo, allowing little respite for the home defence. A swift one‑two combination in the 64th minute saw right‑back Hildur Sif Sigurðardóttir overlap and square for Katrín Ósk to score her second. The scoring was completed ten minutes later when substitute Agnes Sif Gunnarsdóttir tapped in following a rebound from a corner. Alftanes goalkeeper Ásdís Ósk Ragnarsdóttir made several fine saves, but the final margin fairly reflected KR’s superiority.

Tactical notes

• KR’s 4‑3‑3 formation stretched Alftanes’ narrow defensive shape, creating overloads on both flanks.
• Alftanes struggled to maintain possession in midfield, completing under 60% of passes in the second half.
• KR won 14 corners to Alftanes’ 3, underlining their territorial advantage.

Standings impact

KR Reykjavik (W) now sit third in the Women 2 Deild table with 21 points from 11 matches, just one point off the promotion places. Alftanes Women, with 10 points, are in seventh position and face a tough trip to second‑placed FH Hafnarfjörður next weekend. For KR, the midseason momentum is building, and manager Elín Mörk Árnadóttir will be optimistic about sustaining a title challenge after this emphatic away performance.

The match at Alftanesvöllur drew a crowd of 87, the largest attendance for a home fixture this season. KR Reykjavik return to Meistaravöllur on Saturday to host bottom‑side Keflavík, while Alftanes will seek to bounce back in a crucial encounter against mid‑table Afturelding.
