ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar — Kopavogur HK: 34:35, Olis Deildin

ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar lost 34:35 to Kópavogur in the Olís Deildin on Wednesday evening, 24 September 2026. The result ends a run of draws for the visitors and drops points for the hosts at home.

Kópavogur move off the bottom of the table with their first win of the campaign. They had drawn all three opening fixtures, accumulating zero points so far. The away side now hold one point from four matches.

ÍBV remain fourth with four points from three games. They had won two and drawn one before this evening. By then they looked comfortable, but the result changes the shape of the table slightly.

The hosts came into the match unbeaten at home, having beaten Fram 33:30 and Seltjarnarnes 30:27, while losing narrowly to Haukar 29:38. Their recent form showed promise, but the draw against Kópavogur cuts the momentum.

The visitors have struggled since their opening win against Haukar 26:23, then falling to Valur 29:38, KA 28:37, and Akureyri 31:36. To be fair, this result marks a shift in their fortunes, even if the margin is slim.

And here's the thing about handball — one-goal games often hinge on a single decision or a moment of composure. ÍBV will want to regroup quickly, while Kópavogur have found a rhythm they can build on.
