Trottur Reykjavik Women produced a commanding away performance in the Besta-deild kvenna on Sunday, 18 October 2026, defeating Hafnarfjordur Women 4-0 with a clinical second-half display at Hafnarfjordur. The visitors were sharper in possession, more aggressive without the ball and ruthless in front of goal, turning a competitive first half into a one-sided result after the break.

Match overview

Hafnarfjordur Women began with energy and tried to press high in the opening exchanges, but Trottur Reykjavik Women soon settled into a rhythm. The away side used a 4-2-3-1 shape that allowed its midfield to squeeze the space between the lines, and once Trottur took the lead there was a clear sense of control about their play.

The scoreline reflected the difference in finishing. Hafnarfjordur had moments of promise, particularly before half-time, but Trottur defended their penalty area well and broke forward with purpose whenever they won the ball back.

Key moments

• 12’ – Trottur take the lead: Kristín Björnsdóttir punished a loose pass in midfield, driving forward and finishing low into the corner.
• 31’ – The lead doubles: Sara Lind Guðmundsdóttir converted from close range after a well-worked move down the right.
• 39’ – Hafnarfjordur’s best chance: A header from a corner struck the post, a moment that summed up the home side’s evening.
• 58’ – Third goal: Emilía Óskarsdóttir curled a shot beyond the goalkeeper after Trottur won the ball high up the pitch.
• 84’ – The fourth arrives: Björnsdóttir added her second of the match, finishing calmly on the counter-attack.

Tactical story

Trottur’s pressing structure was the foundation of the win. Their front line cut off passes into midfield, while the double pivot stayed compact and forced Hafnarfjordur into hurried clearances. When Trottur regained possession, they attacked quickly through the half-spaces, asking their full-backs to provide width and their attacking midfielders to run beyond the striker.

Hafnarfjordur, by contrast, struggled to build cleanly from the back. Their full-backs pushed forward in search of overloads, but that left space behind for Trottur to exploit. Once the visitors scored the third goal, the match became a matter of game management rather than contest.

Standout players

Kristín Björnsdóttir was the outstanding individual on the pitch, scoring twice and leading the press with intelligence. Sara Lind Guðmundsdóttir dictated much of the attacking play, while centre-back Anna Sigurðardóttir dealt comfortably with Hafnarfjordur’s aerial threat and helped secure the clean sheet.

Season impact

The result strengthens Trottur Reykjavik Women’s position in the upper half of the Besta-deild kvenna table and adds momentum to their push for a strong finish. For Hafnarfjordur Women, the defeat is a reminder that defensive organisation must improve quickly; their recent results have shown promise going forward, but conceding four at home will be a concern for the coaching staff.
