In the Sunday, May 7th match between IBV Vestmannaeyjar and Thor/KA Akureyri, Thor/KA managed to snatch victory with a 1-0 score in their Urvalsfield Women's competition match. The game's primary decisive factor was the early goal scored by the away team in the first half that changed the game's dynamics considerably.

Just 19 minutes into the game, Thor/KA drew first blood and held onto this lead for the rest of the match. Despite IBV making five corner kick attempts compared to Thor/KA's three, they couldn't convert these into goals. This lack of goal scoring efficiency played a crucial role in the home team's eventual loss.

While the match saw a total of three yellow cards, these had minimal impact on the final outcome. The timing of the cards is noteworthy, however, with the home team getting their yellow card only a few short minutes before the first half's end. Conversely, the away team saw two yellow cards, one early in the second half, which could have potentially weakened Thor/KA’s defense, but evidently, did not compromise their lead.

However, the substantial statistical factor that adversely affected IBV Vestmannaeyjar was the red card given to a player later in the match. This left them with a numerical disadvantage and hampered their efforts to equalize the score during the game's crucial final moments.

Both teams showed a low offside count, with Thor/KA having only one offside to IBV's none. This attests to both teams' tactical discipline, but again it's to Thor/KA's credit who despite being caught offside once, managed to maintain their slight edge and see the game out to the end.

In summary, Thor/KA's early goal in the opening half and firm defensive stance, as well as IBV's missed opportunities from corner kicks and an untimely red card, proved to be the match's decisive factors. Another crucial takeaway is the value of scoring early and maintaining a solid defensive structure, as demonstrated ably by Thor/KA Akureyri in this match.
