Filmkir and Grindavik met in the 1. Deild regular season on 22 August 2026, with the hosts running out 6-1 winners at their ground. The result keeps Filmkir in second place while Grindavik remain tenth in the table. To be fair, the visitors had been more consistent in recent fixtures before this afternoon.
B. Arnarsson opened the scoring in the 15th minute, though H. Arnarsson immediately cancelled it with an own goal from the same spot. G. Tyrfingsson then restored the lead with a goal in the 33rd minute after picking up two yellow cards in quick succession. E. Wohler struck twice in the space of a minute at 42 and 43 minutes, giving Filmkir a comfortable cushion.
K. Sigfusson added another pair before the break, finding the net at 44 and 45+1 minutes. T. Gunnarsson came on to double his tally with goals in the 59th and 66th minutes. A. Gunnarsson also made it a brace with strikes at 75 and 76 minutes before M. Ottesen pulled one back for Grindavik in the 88th minute. The match saw a flurry of substitutions around the 71st minute as both sides reshuffled.
Filmkir dominated possession at 56 per cent and registered 13 shots on target compared to four for the visitors. They also outshot Grindavik 80-54 in total attacks and earned 12 corners to nine. The visitors managed just one shot off target all afternoon, while the hosts wasted six. By then it was clear Grindavik had little to play for in terms of confidence.
The result leaves Filmkir on 41 points from 22 games, three behind the leaders. Grindavik sit on 24 points from 21 matches, still seven points adrift of safety. Neither side picked up a red card despite five yellow cards being shown in total. The home side will take heart from the performance after a run of mixed results.
