EB/Streymur beat AB 2-0 in the Meistaradeildin on Saturday evening, a result that extends their unbeaten run against their visitors to two matches. G. Dam opened the scoring in the 49th minute before M. Nielsen doubled the lead in the 80th, putting the game to bed early enough to avoid any late drama. The home side had lost two of their previous three league outings, so this was a chance to steady things.
Streymur sat deep and soaked it up for much of the first half, with AB unable to break them down. The visitors came closer after the interval but missed their chances, and by then the home side were content to let the game come to them. D. Danielsen picked up a yellow card in the 39th minute, one of two bookings for the hosts during the evening.
Three changes came in quick succession in the 66th minute when B. Jacobsen, D. Danielsen, and P. Djurhuus were replaced. Streymur continued to control the tempo without chasing the game, and when M. Nielsen finally found the net in the 80th minute, it felt inevitable rather than surprising. L. Thorstensen came on in the 78th minute, adding fresh legs as the home side looked to see out the result.
AB had started the season brightly enough to sit sixth, but their record of seven wins from 21 games shows inconsistency. They lost to Streymur 1-2 earlier this season and could not repeat that result here. O. Poulsen was booked in the 62nd minute, and the visitors made their changes as the match wound down.
The result leaves Streymur on 20 points in eighth place, level with their opponents on games played but still two points behind. AB remain in sixth but their recent form—three matches without a win—suggests they have hit a wall at the wrong time. The home side now extend their unbeaten run against AB to two, having won the reverse fixture earlier this season.
