Their pressing game forced Ymir into repeated errors, and the midfield dominance allowed them to sustain waves of attacks. Ymir, by contrast, played a compact 4-5-1 but lacked the passing accuracy to escape the pressure.
What This Result Means

For Ymir, the heavy defeat is a wake-up call, highlighting the need for improved defending and composure in possession. The contrast in performance levels was stark, and Selfoss will be confident of carrying this form into their next fixture.
