The Icelandic League Cup match between Leiknir Reykjavik and Breidablik UBK Kopavogur on 21 February 2023 ended with a 2-0 victory for the home side, Leiknir Reykjavik. The key factor in Leiknir's win was their effective use of early goal advancements and robust defensive strategy. Leiknir secured their first goal within 24 minutes of the first half, setting the tone for the rest of the match. The second goal, scored in the 83rd minute, put the match beyond Breidablik's reach, emphasizing Leiknir's superior finishing capabilities.

Breidablik's performance showed a strong offensive pressure as indicated by their higher number of corners—ten compared to Leiknir's five—highlighting their sustained attacking play. Despite this, their inability to convert these set pieces into goals proved costly. Breidablik was also more disciplined in terms of offsides, with only two against Leiknir's three. This marginally better discipline did not translate into effectiveness in front of goal.

The match saw a high number of yellow cards, three per team, demonstrating a physically intense encounter. The pivotal disciplinary moment occurred for Breidablik with three yellow cards in the second half, which may have disrupted their rhythm and stressed an already pressured defense, particularly during the second half. Leiknir's ability to avoid red cards played a crucial role in maintaining their defensive setup.

Ultimately, while Breidablik had more corner kicks and maintained pressure throughout, Leiknir Reykjavik's clinical finishing and structured defense were the decisive factors. Despite receiving equal yellow cards, Leiknir's efficient use of goal-scoring opportunities notably in key moments, reflected a strategic superiority in both offense and defense that secured their victory.
