Saga Öræfi Stadium
Spectators: 7000 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 2000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Tumi Gissurarson got the match started through his kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kristján Styrmisson in the 6th minute of play forced Saga Öræfi's goalkeeper Vilji Guðþórsson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Garðabæ booed when Saga Öræfi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Skíði Ketilsson didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 13 played minutes, Garðabæ's Páll Arnþórsson shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Vilji Guðþórsson came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Garðabæ reached it. 15 minutes into the match, Saga Öræfi's goal looked a bit too open when Kristján Styrmisson came free, but Vilji Guðþórsson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Tumi Gissurarson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vilji Guðþórsson having to interfere. Vilji Guðþórsson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tumi Gissurarson, who was totally free with the ball in the 20th minute. When the match clock showed 21 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Kristján Styrmisson sped through Saga Öræfi's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Vilji Guðþórsson. After 26 minutes of play, Garðabæ's Tumi Gissurarson made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Vilji Guðþórsson was left in no man's land by his defense there! Tumi Gissurarson sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 38th minute Kristmar Ísólfsson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sváfnir Játvarðarson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 45th minute Kristján Styrmisson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vilji Guðþórsson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Kristmar Ísólfsson stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Þorgísl Magnþórsson might have been able to make a better finish in the 56th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Sváfnir Játvarðarson. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Þorgísl Magnþórsson ran back to his position shaking his head. After a rather tough play, Garðabæ's Ásgeir Arndórsson got a free kick in the 59th minute. In the 61st match minute, Garðabæ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sveinungi Hafsteinsson to maneuver through the defense. After a defensive mix-up in Garðabæ's zone, Þorgísl Magnþórsson stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Sváfnir Játvarðarson came out of the goal and Þorgísl Magnþórsson tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 66th minute, Kristmar Ísólfsson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Kristján Styrmisson fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vilji Guðþórsson having to interfere. Ófeigur Reimarsson hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. Vilji Guðþórsson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tumi Gissurarson, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 88 minutes into the game, Sveinungi Hafsteinsson was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Garðabæ's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Saga Öræfi the free kick. Sveinungi Hafsteinsson kicked well hit freekick during the 88th minute of the match. Höskuldur Hjörvarsson charged in rather forcefully in the 90th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Höskuldur Hjörvarsson the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Garðabæ booed when Saga Öræfi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Höskuldur Hjörvarsson didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 91st minute Tumi Gissurarson shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vilji Guðþórsson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 95 minutes into the match, Garðabæ's Kristján Styrmisson sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Vilji Guðþórsson narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Garðabæ played a much better game than Saga Öræfi and deserved their victory. The Saga Öræfi players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
