Match overview

Breidablik wasted no time asserting their authority, taking control of the midfield and forcing Hafnarfjordur onto the back foot.

That early strike set the tone for a comfortable afternoon for the away side.

Dominant display

After the interval, the result was never in doubt as Breidablik added a third, converting from a corner after a scramble in the box.

Hafnarfjordur never found a way through, and their frustration grew as the match wore on.

Season impact

This three-goal victory boosts Breidablik Women’s position in the Besta-deild kvenna standings and sends a message to the rest of the league regarding their title credentials.
