KÍ put the pressure on HB
It ended with a 1-0 KÍ victory, when Klaksvíkingar tonight were in Gota.
The only goal was scored by Daniel Johansen in the 64th minute. After a corner from the right from Árni Frederiksberg and from behind, Árni put the ball at the feet of the new wing-back on the left, and in the middle of the penalty area Daniel successfully put the ball right into the post without the national team goalkeeper in the goal of Víkingur looked to have any chance. This was Daniel Johansen’s first goal in the blue jersey, which he seems to thrive in.
-For a long time it worked well for us, but the last minute before the break they were much better. After the break we tried to fix it and get more passes, but it didn’t work as we intended, and so it was once again with a dead ball that we scored the winning goal, says Daniel Johansen in an interview with Trygvi Absalonsen on FM radio.
-Now we are looking forward to playing in Europe, and I am very pleased with the good reception I have received in Klaksvík, says the only goalscorer in Gota tonight in an interview with FM1 radio.
The victory means that KÍ goes into summer vacation with 46 points from 16 games. Whether the distance to the next challenger will be nine points or more will be seen on Sunday, when there will be a neighborhood match in Gundadali.
The biggest chance to score in the first half got Víkingur. A combination on the left between Olaf Bárðarson and Inga Jonhardsson ended with a flat pass. Stefan Radosavljevic was completely free in the middle of the goal, but he did not hit the ball well enough, and rather than into the goal the ball went far to the side of.
After the break, Klaksvíkingar were more on the ball, and often they interacted with great patience. After KÍ’s lead, the home team moved their people further forward, but it was never a big chance.
-They were on top at times, and we were on top at times, and in big moments most of it happened in the middle. Last year, such games kicked us to the advantage. Tonight we played against the best team in Faroe Islands, and it kicked them to their advantage, as it often does with teams that have a wind, says Sølvi Vatnhamar at Víkingur.
