Match report

Fram Reykjavík and KA Akureyri finished 2-2 in the 21st round of the Urvalsdeild. The result kept Fram second in the table while KA Akureyri remain 11th, though neither side walked away with much to celebrate.

G. Hrafnkelsson opened the scoring at 14 minutes, then K. McLagan levelled at 33. And here's the thing — by then the match had settled into a rhythm that neither team could quite break. J. Arnason and K. Gautason came on for the hosts around the 20-minute mark, trying to find an edge.

A. Palsson restored the lead at 50 minutes with a well-taken finish. But K. Konradsson found an equaliser at 80, and to be fair KA Akureyri had been closer to the action in the second half.
