HB and 07 Vestur shared the points in a goalless draw on Saturday evening in the Meistaradeildin. The result leaves the hosts third on 37 points while the visitors remain ninth with 18. Both sides had made their 21st appearances of the campaign.
The opening half belonged to HB, who kept 64 per cent of possession and created 101 attacks against 71 for their opponents. P. Vitor picked up a yellow card in the 31st minute after a challenge in midfield, and here's the thing — it was the only moment of real friction before the break.
Coaching changes came thick and fast after the interval. S. Radosavljevic was the first to come off in the 56th minute, followed by a flurry around the hour mark when R. Helgason and P. Vitor both left the pitch. By then the game had settled into a rhythm neither side could break.
The visiting manager brought on A. Diop and A. Jonsson together in the 70th minute, a move that suggested urgency. HB responded with J. Flensborg's introduction in the 86th minute, content to see out what remained. To be fair, neither side had much to do all evening.
HB registered four shots on target with 12 going wide, while 07 Vestur managed just one effort on goal from four attempts off target. The visitors saw J. Steig booked in the 90th minute and sixth second for a late challenge. The draw keeps HB four points clear of fourth place and extends 07 Vestur's winless streak in domestic competition.
