Match Overview

The opening half was a tightly contested affair with both teams struggling to maintain control in midfield. Stjarnan Skinandi took the lead against the run of play in the 22nd minute when forward Bjarki Þórsson latched onto a long ball and finished coolly past the home goalkeeper. HK Ymir equalized just before the break after a goalmouth scramble allowed captain Atli Gunnarsson to bundle the ball over the line.

The home side came out with renewed purpose after the interval and took the lead for the first time in the 58th minute. Winger Óliver Heiðarsson cut in from the left and fired a low drive into the corner. Ten minutes later, Heiðarsson turned provider, crossing for striker Kristján Felix to head home and seal all three points.

Tactical Story

HK Ymir U19 coach Haraldur Ingi switched to a more flexible 4-3-3 formation after the break, allowing his wide players to push higher and pin Stjarnan Skinandi’s full-backs. The change immediately created overloads on the flanks, with Heiðarsson especially enjoying a dominant second half. Stjarnan Skinandi were forced to drop deeper as the game wore on, and their direct route forward became increasingly predictable.

Standout Players

• Óliver Heiðarsson (HK Ymir U19) – A goal and an assist, and the driving force behind the home side’s second-half surge.
• Kristján Felix (HK Ymir U19) – Led the line tirelessly and scored the decisive third goal.
• Bjarki Þórsson (Stjarnan Skinandi U19) – Took his goal with composure and was a constant outlet for his team.

What It Means

The victory lifts HK Ymir U19 up the league table and strengthens their position in the race for a top finish. With a young squad that is clearly developing in confidence, they will be one of the teams to watch in the second half of the season. For Stjarnan Skinandi U19, this result is a reminder that consistency will be key if they are to close the gap to the leading sides.

In youth football, performances often matter more than results, and there were promising signs from both teams, but HK Ymir’s ability to seize control after half-time will give their coaching staff plenty of encouragement.
