Njardvik 4:0 Völsungur: 1. Deild Match Result

Match report

Njarðvík secured a comprehensive 4-0 win over Völsungur in the 20th round of the 1. Deild. The hosts dominated from the opening exchanges, with B. Bjarkason breaking the deadlock in the 14th minute to set the tone for the afternoon. By then, the visitors looked uncomfortable against a side that fancy their chances going forward.

O. Diouck doubled the lead in the 32nd minute before Bjarkason struck again in the 51st minute. The away end never stopped, but their frustration boiled over when A. Einarsson received a yellow card in the 82nd minute. Diouck completed his brace in the 60th minute to put the result beyond doubt.

And here's the thing about the statistics — Njarðvík registered 8 shots on target compared to just 1 for the visitors. The hosts enjoyed 53 per cent possession and generated 96 attacks against Völsungur's 76. Such dominance meant the visitors never got out of second gear, their single shot on target coming from nowhere.

Njarðvík handed a series of changes, bringing on four players in the 56th minute including Bjarkason himself. Further substitutions followed at 77 minutes and 85 minutes as the away side tried to respond. The draw brought them together early in the season, but this result widened the gap considerably.

The victory moves Njarðvík further clear in fifth place with 35 points from 21 games. Völsungur remain 11th with 23 points, now 12 points behind their hosts. The home side are on a good run after their 1-3 defeat to ÍR Reykjavík, while the visitors' recent form looked promising before this afternoon.
