Thróttur Vogum 1–4 Kári Akranes | Iceland Division 2 – 20 June 2026

A dominant second‑half display powered Kári Akranes to a convincing 4‑1 away victory over Thróttur Vogum at a rain‑swept Vogavöllur on Saturday evening. The result lifts Kári into the top four of the Iceland Division 2 table, while Thróttur remain anchored just above the relegation zone after a fourth consecutive league defeat.

Match overview

Kári Akranes arrived with one of the division’s most potent attacks and wasted little time imposing their superiority. After a closely contested opening quarter, the visitors broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute when striker Bjarki Hrafnsson volleyed home from a corner. Thróttur briefly hit back ten minutes before half‑time, midfielder Jónas Pétursson latching onto a defensive slip to slot past Kári goalkeeper Arnar Már Jónsson and make it 1–1 at the interval.

Second‑half fireworks

The momentum shifted irreversibly after the restart. Kári manager Haukur Ingi Gunnarsson introduced winger Kristján Örn Kristjánsson, whose pace unsettled the Thróttur backline. Within five minutes of the second half, Kristjánsson set up midfielder Daníel Hrafn Jónsson for a simple tap‑in to restore the lead. Thróttur pushed forward in search of an equaliser, only to leave gaps at the back. Kári capitalised ruthlessly, with two more goals in the space of ten minutes – a powerful free‑kick from Arnar Daði Þorsteinsson and a composed finish by substitute Víkingur Örvarsson – to seal a 4‑1 triumph.

Key performers

• Bjarki Hrafnsson (Kári Akranes) – Goal and an assist; his movement caused constant problems.
• Kristján Örn Kristjánsson (Kári Akranes) – Changed the game off the bench with pace and creativity.
• Jónas Pétursson (Thróttur Vogum) – Scored Thróttur’s only goal, but was isolated in attack.

Season implications

The victory moves Kári Akranes to 22 points from 12 matches, solidifying their position in the promotion chase. For Thróttur Vogum, the defeat leaves them with just 9 points and a growing goal‑difference concern. With half the season still to play, manager Haraldur Björnsson will need to tighten a defence that has now conceded 14 goals in the last five matches.

Attendance at Vogavöllur was officially listed at 312, a solid turnout for a Division 2 fixture that produced plenty of drama. Kári Akranes will look to build on this performance when they host bottom‑side Haukar next week, while Thróttur face a critical trip to mid‑table Leiknir Fáskrúðsfirði.
