In one of the most entertaining matches of the Faroe Islands Premier League season, EB Streymur came from behind twice to defeat HB Torshavn 4-3 at the Gundadalur Stadium on 19 May 2026. The match featured seven goals, a red card, and a last-minute winner that left the home crowd in disbelief.

Match Overview

HB Torshavn, the league's dominant force, were expected to cruise past mid-table EB Streymur. Instead, they found themselves in a frenetic battle. The home side took an early lead, but Streymur hit back within minutes. The back-and-forth continued deep into second-half stoppage time, when Streymur's substitute striker volleyed home from a corner to seal an unforgettable victory.

Key Moments

• 8' – HB Torshavn open the scoring. A long-range strike from midfielder Jónas Rasmussen takes a deflection and loops over the keeper. 1-0.
• 14' – EB Streymur equalise. A quick free kick catches the HB defence sleeping, and the forward slots home. 1-1.
• 32' – HB retake the lead. A penalty is converted confidently after a handball in the box. 2-1.
• 45' – Streymur equalise again. A corner is cleared only as far as the edge of the box, where a powerful half-volley crashes into the net. 2-2.
• 60' – HB Torshavn go ahead for a third time. A cross is headed in by the centre-back from a set piece. 3-2.

Tactical Story

HB Torshavn dominated possession (58%) and created more shots (17 to 11), but their defensive organisation was poor. EB Streymur exploited every set piece and counter-attack opportunity. The home side's failure to keep a clean sheet despite scoring three times proved costly. Three of Streymur's goals came from dead-ball situations, highlighting a weakness HB must address quickly.

Standout Players

• Hans Mikkelsen (EB Streymur) – Scored twice, including the dramatic winner, and was a constant menace.
• Jónas Rasmussen (HB Torshavn) – Scored one and set up another, but his efforts were in vain.

Season Impact

The defeat stings for HB Torshavn, who miss the chance to go top of the Faroe Islands Premier League table. EB Streymur, meanwhile, climb into the top half and will take enormous confidence from this result. For the neutrals, it was a classic Faroese football spectacle.
