HB 3:1 NSI Runavik: Meistaradeildin Match Result

Match report

HB secured a 3-1 victory over NSI Runavik in the Meistaradeildin Regular Season on 3 August 2026. The home side had been struggling for consistency, having lost their previous two matches against Møller, but they found their rhythm against the league leaders. The result narrows the gap between the two sides at the top of the table to just seven points.

The visitors started strongly, controlling the early exchanges, but HB grew into the game after the break. M. Przybylski opened the scoring in the 49th minute, capitalising on a defensive error. A. Jonsson doubled the lead just 18 minutes later, and HB held firm despite NSI's attempts to respond.

NSI had a late consolation when M. Ebiye found the net in the 90+6th minute, but it was too little, too late. HB added a third goal through H. Sorensen in the 80th minute, effectively sealing the result. The visitors' frustration showed in the final minutes, though no further cards were issued after the initial two yellows for HB.

Statistically, the match was evenly balanced. HB held 51 per cent possession and registered eight shots on target compared to NSI's three. The visitors managed more attacks overall with 86 to HB's 77, but their finishing lacked precision. HB's clinical edge proved decisive in a game that could have gone either way.

The victory keeps HB within striking distance of first place, while NSI's lead has now shrunk to seven points. Both sides have played 21 league matches, but HB's recent form suggests they are ready to challenge for the title. The result also marks a turning point in HB's season after a difficult run of results.
