FH hafnarfjordur 5:2 Stjarnan: Úrvalsdeild Match Result

Match report

FH claimed a 5-2 victory over Stjarnan in the Relegation Group stage of the Úrvalsdeild at home on Sunday. The result shifts the dynamic in a section where every point matters. Both sides came into the fixture knowing the stakes, but the hosts turned the afternoon into theirs.

Jóhannes Bjarnason opened the scoring in the fourteenth minute, and Stjarnan's response came quickly through Gylfi Gíslason twenty-one minutes in. The pattern set early — FH would take their chances, and Stjarnan would have to chase. Kári Halldórsson added a penalty and another goal inside sixty seconds after the restart, giving the hosts a cushion they would not surrender.

By then, the game had settled into something predictable for those who had watched enough of this division. We had tipped a home win with forty-eight percent confidence before kickoff, and the match unfolded along those lines. Björn Waren struck twice in the second half, while Guðmundur Tryggvason added a late consolation for the visitors in stoppage time.

The statistics tell the story most clearly. Stjarnan held sixty-two percent of possession and launched one hundred and twenty-five attacks, yet created zero big chances. FH managed only thirty-eight percent possession but produced six. The visitors shot from distance when they should have tightened things up, while the hosts were clinical when it mattered.

FH remain third on twenty-seven points after twenty-four games, sitting four behind second-placed Stjarnan on thirty-one. The gap could close if the visitors falter, and this result makes that possibility feel real. The Relegation Group is tight enough that one afternoon like this changes how the season reads.
