Match Report
Vikingur Reykjavik secured a 2–1 victory over Hapoel Beer Sheva in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, with the match goalless at the break before coming to life in a frantic second half. Nikolaj Hansen opened the scoring just three minutes after the restart, and a further goal shortly after at the 51st minute gave the Icelandic side a two-goal cushion before Beer Sheva pulled one back to set up a tense finish.
The visitors threatened to level matters further when a goal was ruled out for offside via VAR in the 78th minute, a pivotal moment that preserved Vikingur's advantage. Hansen then put the result beyond doubt with his second goal of the evening in the 86th minute, capping a commanding individual performance before being substituted in stoppage time. Both sides received yellow cards across the contest, reflecting the competitive nature of the tie.
The win was the most likely outcome according to our pre-match AI model, which gave Vikingur a 49% chance of victory. Vikingur now advance to the next round of qualifying.
