KA Akureyri and Stjarnan Gardabaer shared the points in a 1-1 draw in the Iceland Besta-deild karla on Monday, June 2nd. The match was a tight and tactical affair where a draw was arguably a fair result. Stjarnan took the lead against the run of play in the first half, finishing a rare chance on the break. KA Akureyri, spurred on by their home support, pushed hard for an equalizer and were rewarded in the second half, scoring from a set-piece situation. Both teams had half-chances to win it late on, but neither could find a decisive second goal. The point was a useful one for both sides in the congested middle of the Besta-deild karla table, though each manager may have left feeling they could have taken all three. The KA Akureyri manager praised his team's character in coming from behind.
