Valur and Breiðablik met in a real big game in the best women's soccer league at Hlíðarenda, where Valur won, 1:0.

Valsars started much better and took control in the first minute. Blikar barely got over the middle and Valur got a lot of opportunities after Blikar's sloppy play and scored the first goal after that. Ásta Eir Árnadóttir sent a difficult pass up the field and Berglind Rós Ágústdóttir won the ball and brought it to Ragnheiði Þórunn Jónsdóttir who passed, where Katie Cousin had time and space just outside the penalty area and sent the ball into the goal in the bottom left corner.
Valsars continued to attack throughout the half, Ásta Eir saved on the line after a corner and Blikar barely managed to connect two passes in front and almost got over the middle.
However, Blikar had a good chance to equalize in the 39th minute when Birta Georgs sent the ball forward and Katrín Ásbjörnsdóttir was well positioned on the penalty line and took a shot that went just wide.
Blikar came into the second half with better direction, but Valsarar had more dangerous chances to begin with, and Natasha Ansi was close to poking the ball into the net for her old club, but put it just wide.
Blikar had a shot on goal in the 55th minute after a nice play, from right to left, and Vigdís Lilja Kristjánsdóttir had a shot that was saved by Fanney Inga Birkisdóttir.
Katie was close to scoring a second goal with nine minutes remaining, from a similar position as she scored the goal from, but Telma Ívarsdóttir saved and Valur won, 1:0.
