The match between KA Akureyri and Breidablik UBK Kopavogur on 13 August 2023 ended in a 1-1 draw in the Urvalsdeild competition. This result was fairly a consequence of aggressive and balanced gameplay from both teams, but the disciplinary aspect, particularly the yellow cards, had a considerable impact on the game flow and its outcome.

In terms of the goals, Breidablik opened the scoring early in the first half, with a goal at the 16-minute mark. However, AK Akureyri showed resilience and equalized towards the end of the first half, scoring at the 50th minute, leaving the match delicately poised at halftime.

The second half was visibly more tense with both teams failing to seize their chances to pull ahead. This tension evidently reflected in the number of fouls committed and yellow cards issued. KA Akureyri registered 17 fouls while Breidablik committed 13 fouls.

Disciplinary measures distinctly influenced the momentum of the game. While Breidablik were the first to receive a yellow card towards the end of the first half, in the second half, Akureyri players were booked four times in a little over 10 minutes, which certainly disrupted their rhythm and created scoring opportunities for Breidablik. However, Breidablik couldn't capitalize on this advantage, as they themselves received a yellow card and a critical red card later in the half.

The number of corner kicks underlined Akureyri's attacking edge with 8 corners compared to Breidablik's 5. Despite this, they couldn’t add to their goal tally. On the other hand, Breidablik were caught offside twice, halting their offensive efforts.

Despite all these indicators, both teams were unable to find a winner. The aggressive play, reflected in the number of fouls, and a higher rate of yellow cards, particularly for Akureyri, seem to have the most significant impact on the final 1-1 result. While Akureyri showed more offensive inclinations as evidenced by the number of corners, Breidablik's resolute defense and effective counter-attacking could have been more fruitful if not for the offsides.

All in all, notwithstanding their spirited performances, the teams need to work on their discipline and utilize set-pieces more effectively, given the toll it took on the game's outcome.
