Apollon Limassol LFC Women 0-2 Hafnarfjordur Women: Visitors take control in UEFA Women's Cup tie

Apollon Limassol LFC Women were left with a mountain to climb after falling to a 2-0 defeat against Hafnarfjordur Women in their UEFA Women's match on August 26, 2026. The Icelandic side delivered a composed and clinical away performance to seize the upper hand in the two-legged contest.

Hafnarfjordur start strongly

FH Hafnarfjordur, known in Icelandic women's football for their disciplined structure, dominated the early stages and made their quality count soon after the opening goal was scored. Their first strike came after a patient build-up, with a sharp move slicing through the home defence and a composed finish giving the visitors a deserved lead.

Apollon unable to find a response

Apollon Limassol LFC Women struggled to impose themselves in the opening half and found it difficult to create clear chances against a well-organised backline. The Cypriot side grew slightly more adventurous after the break, but Hafnarfjordur doubled their advantage with a well-taken second goal that effectively killed the contest.

Second-leg hopes

Despite the comfortable margin, Apollon will not give up hope. The 2-0 scoreline means they must now win by three goals in the return leg to advance directly, or mount a major response to force extra time. Hafnarfjordur Women, meanwhile, will be delighted with their ability to keep a clean sheet away from home and return to Iceland with a strong advantage in this UEFA Women's tie.
