We lost to a better opponent
(This text has been translated with the use of chat.openai.com)
Before the game today, we knew that there was a big task waiting for our men in Gundadalur. HB had made a good start to the season and had won every match except the last one. Our results had also been good lately, and we were hopeful going to Tórshavn today.
Petur Reinert kicked off the match at 15:00. We lined up in a 3-5-3 formation. Tóri T was the last defender, and the defence line was manned by Tóra O, Karl, and Jan, together with the defensive midfielders, Elias and Pól Jákupi. In the middle of the field, Ruben and Elvio were defensive-minded, while Gundur covered the attacking positions. Upfront, we had Hans Jákup and Dánjal. Today, we were without Jhon Mena, who had received two yellow cards in the last game.
Our men had a good first half. HB had more possession of the ball, but we were also dangerous in some areas. Unfortunately, we conceded a goal halfway through the first half. The HB player made a good cross from the left, where Karl had to stretch every muscle in his body to reach the ball, but unfortunately, he missed it, and the ball ended up in the goal. A little later, we equalized. Elias made a cross from the right, which an HB player touched with his head, and the ball ended up at Gundur's feet. He took a step forward towards HB's backline and managed to shoot the ball into the net, making the score 1-1. Just before halftime, an HB player got free on the right side and made a flat cross to the unmarked Mads Borchers, who was positioned in the middle of the box, and he just had to push the ball into the net.
In the second half, we almost equalized when Dánjal got free in the box after a good cross from Pól Jákupi from the left. However, he was disturbed by an HB player and couldn't convert the chance. In the middle of the second half, we conceded a penalty, which Adrian Justinussen safely put into the net. After that, HB was dominant, and they managed to score their fourth and final goal late in the game. The goal came from a cross from the left, where Mads Borchers was again the first to reach the ball and passed it to an unmarked Tórur in the box.
The substitutes Jóhann, Gonzalo, and Rúnar got a few minutes on the pitch, but it was tough for them as the game was already lost.
In summary, it can be said that the task ahead could seem very big, and although we had built our hopes up with good results in other matches, HB became too tough of an opponent. The IF players fought well throughout the match, and this can be taken to our next game.
