Þorsteinn Már Ragnarsson made a major impact in his first match for Vikingur Ol after arriving on loan from KR.  Þorsteinn Már, who is the twin brother of Vikingur striker Steinar Már Ragnarsson, drew a foul in the box leading to an Eyþór Helgi Birgisson penalty 17 minutes into the match, and scored a goal of his own on a counterattack in the 64th minute to lead Vikingur Ol to a 2-0 victory in Selfoss.

Selfoss started strong, forcing Vikingur keeper Arnar Darri Pétursson into several saves in the first ten minutes, but when Þorsteinn Már got taken down in the box by Selfoss keeper Vignir Jóhannesson, the referee pointed straight to the spot.  Eyþór Helgi confidently sent Jóhannesson the wrong way, putting Vikingur Ol up 1-0 early.

Þorsteinn Már and Eyþór Helgi continued linking well throughout the first half, with Samu Jimenez just missing after a good buildup in the 40th minute.  After halftime things slowed down, with neither side getting many opportunities, until Þorsteinn Már got a breakaway, outrunning Selfoss defender Andrew Pew and beating the keeper for his first goal in the white and blue.

Selfoss’s best chance came about five minutes later, when Ragnar Þór Gunnarsson hit the crossbar off a header, but they never seriously threatened the Vikingur lead.  Hackettstown’s Own Joey Spivack came in as a late substitute and got about five minutes of action in stoppage time, as the squad held on to nail down the 2-0 victory.

With the win, Vikingur Olafsvik moves into fourth place, two points behind Akranes and Þróttur, though they are still at a significant disadvantage against Akranes on goal differential.  Olafsvik hosts Akranes next Wednesday, in what promises to be a key match.
