In what turned out to be a one-sided affair in the Urvalsdeild on the 20th of August 2023, Vikingur Reykjavik dominated the field with a solid 4-0 victory over Valur Reykjavik FC.

The match turned favorable for Vikingur Reykjavik right from the early stages with an initial goal at 2 minutes and 41 seconds into the first half. Their momentum was further maintained by a second goal scored at 26 minutes and 17 seconds. Despite 7 corner kicks for Valur Reykjavik in comparison to Vikingur's 5, the home team was unable to convert any of them into scoring opportunities. This statistic underscored the defensive prowess of the Vikingur side, consistently clearing the ball from dangerous situations.

On the disciplinary front, although Vikingur picked up two yellow cards, one in each half (at 29 minutes and 45 seconds in the first half, and 70 minutes and 47 seconds in the second half), it seemed to have little detrimental impact on their performance or tactical approach. Valur, on the other hand, picked up a single yellow card at 41 minutes and 37 seconds in the first half.

The second half followed the same narrative with Vikingur scoring two more goals (at 64 minutes and 33 seconds, and 74 minutes and 56 seconds), despite diligent efforts from Valur's side to turn the tide.

Overall, the primary factors impacting the outcome were Vikingur Reykjavik's swift attacking prowess in opening minutes of both halves and their robust defense which significantly reduced Valur’s scoring opportunities, despite Valur having more corner kicks. Neither team disrupted their gameplay drastically due to disciplinary actions. Vikingur managed to demonstrate effective possession to create key scoring opportunities, and their defensive units successfully frustrated Valur's attackers in this definitive victory.
