In this riveting Icelandic League Cup encounter, FC IF Vestri clinched a narrow win over FH Hafnarfjordur with a 2-1 scoreline. The match was tied statistically, with both sides recording 6 shots each on target, indicating an equal desire to get into the goal.

Vestri’s goalkeeper played a crucial role in the team's victory, making 5 crucial saves compared to his Hafnarfjordur counterpart's 4. This points to a more resolute defence by the Vestri side. This was further emphasized by the lower number of corners awarded to Hafnafjordur, just 2 compared to Vestri's 4, indicating Vestri's defensive solidity.

Creating opportunities wasn't an issue for either side. While Vestri had just one assist to their name, despite their 6 attempts on target, Hafnarfjordur were efficient with 2 assists. However, their conversion rate let them down, and despite creating more possibilities, they managed just one goal.

Interestingly, despite the intensity of the match-up, the game was conducted with excellent sportsmanship. There were neither yellow nor red cards issued to either side during the match. The commitment to fair play was evident, with fouls on both sides (Vestri with 8 and Hafnarfjordur with 6) kept to a minimum.

In the tactical battle, Vestri made 2 substitutions, which could be indicative of the team's superior depth and bench strength. Hafnarfjordur, meanwhile, made only one substitution.

Offsides were another factor where Vestri seemed to have a minor disadvantage, being caught 2 times past the last defender compared to Hafnarfjordur's clean slate in the department.

All these factors informed the eventual outcome, showcasing that while both teams presented a close match, slight differences in conversion rate, goalkeeping performance, and defensive solidity were pivotal in FC IF Vestri walking away with the win.
