KA beat Víkingur 26 to 24 in the Ólísdeildin on September 11th. The visitors took all three points from their opening fixture of the campaign, while the hosts remain without a competitive result this season.
The scoreline tells you little about the character of the contest. A two-goal margin suggests a tight affair, though without minute-by-minute detail we cannot say when the decisive moments came. KA showed enough composure to hold on after what was clearly an open match.
For the visitors, this marks a positive start. They sit fourth after one game, two points on the board, and a win over a side that has been competitive in recent years. Their last five results include both victories and defeats, but this performance suggests they found a way back into it when needed.
Víkingur's record shows zero games played, zero points — the season has barely begun for them. Their recent history includes a 33-18 defeat to KA back in March 2024, so there may be some satisfaction in knowing the balance has shifted slightly this time around.
KA now have momentum heading into their next fixture. A fourth straight win would be impressive, but they are still early days. What matters is that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain from this opening statement.
