TB secured a comfortable 5-1 victory over NSI II in the 21st round of the 1. deild on Friday evening. The result leaves the hosts on 26 points in fifth place, while NSI II remain on 22 points in seventh after 20 games each.
Danielsen opened the scoring after just three minutes, and Musah doubled the lead with a penalty seven minutes in. And here's the thing about this sort of start — it changed the complexion of the game entirely, and NSI II never really recovered.
Arnholdsson added a third before the half-hour mark, then Musah struck twice more in the first half, putting TB 5-0 up by the 41st minute. By then it was clear the visitors had no answer to the pace at which TB was playing.
Armah pulled one back for NSI II in the 66th minute, but the damage had long been done. The home side had been ruthless in front of goal, converting their chances with a clinical edge that their recent results hadn't always shown.
Looking at the form going into this match, TB had mixed fortunes — a 2-2 draw with EB/Streymur II last time out, preceded by a heavy 3-0 defeat to IF II. Meanwhile, NSI II's recent outings tell a darker story, including a 0-7 hammering by B71 and a 4-0 loss to Sudauroy.
To be fair, the gap in the table was always going to be tested in a game like this. TB now move two points clear of their visitors, though both sides still have games in hand. The result keeps pressure on NSI II to find consistency in the final stretch of the season.
