Thor/VolsMagni U19 and Throttur Reykjavik U19 Settle for Goalless Draw in Iceland U19 Cup

The Iceland U19 Cup saw a tight, physical contest on June 11, 2026, as Thor/VolsMagni U19 played host to Throttur Reykjavik U19. Despite both teams showing ambition, the match ended 0‑0 after 90 minutes, leaving the tie finely balanced for a potential replay or extra‑time scenario.

Match Overview

Played in cool, windy conditions typical of an Icelandic summer evening, the game was a battle of attrition. Thor/VolsMagni U19, a combined side representing the clubs Thór and Völsungur, used their home advantage to press early. Throttur Reykjavik, however, were well organised and dangerous on the break.

Key Moments

• 8th minute: Throttur’s striker Arnar Jónsson latched onto a through ball but his shot was smothered by the onrushing goalkeeper.
• 31st minute: Thor/VolsMagni’s best chance came when midfielder Ólafur Björnsson unleashed a dipping volley that hit the crossbar.
• 68th minute: A goalmouth scramble saw the ball cleared off the line by a Throttur defender after a corner.
• 89th minute: Throttur’s winger Viktor Pálsson broke free down the right but his low cross was cleared just before a waiting forward could tap in.

Youth Cup Context

The Iceland U19 Cup is a knockout competition that often produces tight encounters. A goalless draw means the match will either go to extra time or a replay, depending on the tournament regulations. Both sets of players showed great commitment, and the result keeps the tie wide open.

Player Highlights

Thor/VolsMagni goalkeeper Einar Guðmundsson was named man of the match for his composed display, making three crucial saves. For Throttur, centre‑back Brynjar Leósson was a rock at the heart of defence, winning every aerial duel and making several last‑ditch tackles.

The two sides will meet again in the coming days to decide who advances to the next round of the Iceland U19 Cup, with both confident they can break the deadlock.
