Breidablik 3–0 Vikingur Reykjavik
Icelandic Cup – 28 June 2026

Breidablik booked their place in the next round of the Icelandic Cup with a commanding 3–0 win over Vikingur Reykjavik at Kópavogsvöllur. The home side produced a complete performance, stifling Vikingur’s attack while converting their own chances with efficiency.

Match Overview

The match was tightly contested in the opening 20 minutes, with both teams testing the opposition defences. But Breidablik struck first in the 23rd minute: a corner was cleared only to the edge of the box, where a powerful volley flew into the bottom corner. That goal settled the hosts, who doubled their lead ten minutes later after a slick counter‑attack ended with a calm finish from close range.

In the second half, Vikingur pushed forward in search of a lifeline, but Breidablik’s backline held firm. The killer third goal arrived in the 78th minute when a long ball over the top was controlled brilliantly, and the striker slotted past the advancing goalkeeper.

Tactical Story

Breidablik’s shape was disciplined – a compact 4‑4‑2 that absorbed pressure and then broke with pace. Vikingur struggled to create clear‑cut chances, their best opportunity coming from a speculative shot that sailed wide. The home team’s pressing game forced Vikingur into hurried passes and turnovers in dangerous areas.

Key Players

Breidablik’s midfield three dominated the ground, while the centre‑back partnership won every aerial duel. The player of the match was the right‑back, who provided two assists and completed several crucial interceptions.

Cup Implications

The victory continues Breidablik’s impressive cup run and maintains their push for silverware in the 2026 season. Vikingur Reykjavik, a club with a proud cup history, will be disappointed to exit at this stage.
