The Icelandic champions held off a spirited challenge from the Sammarinese side in a match that showcased the competitive nature of Europe's third-tier club competition. Breidablik opened the scoring midway through the first half with a powerful strike from distance, but Virtus responded bravely, leveling the score before halftime with a cleverly taken goal. The match winner came in the second half from the penalty spot after a handball was detected in the Virtus area, allowing Breidablik's captain to calmly convert. Despite late pressure from the visitors, the Icelandic side managed the game well to see out the victory.
