Fram Women secured a 26-23 victory over Kópavogur HK Women in the Olís Deild on Saturday afternoon. The result keeps the hosts in second place while the visitors remain stuck at the bottom of the table with zero points from their opening two fixtures. It was a game where Fram's momentum from recent wins proved decisive.
Fram had come into this match with confidence after back-to-back victories, most notably a 35-28 win over Stjarnan just last week. Kópavogur, by contrast, had failed to secure a single win despite two draws, including a 20-28 defeat to Haukar earlier this month. The visitors had been competitive in their previous encounters but struggled to turn draws into victories.
The match itself was tightly contested throughout. Fram took control in the opening period and never truly relinquished their advantage. Kópavogur refused to fold, finding a way through to keep things within reach. The home side managed to extend their lead when needed, and that experience told in the closing stages.
What stood out was Fram's ability to close out the game. They had moments where the tie could have slipped away, but they held firm. Kópavogur pressed for an equaliser in the final minutes, but the visitors were unable to find that breakthrough. The stadium fell silent as the final whistle confirmed the result.
Four points now separate the two teams in the standings. Fram sit on 4 points from 2 games, while Kópavogur remain on 0 despite playing the same number of matches. It is a clear indication of where the home side fancy their chances this season.
For Kópavogur, the question now is whether they can finally pick up a win. Two draws have brought them nowhere. They need to find a way through to change their fortunes before the gap widens further.
