FH remains at the summit of the Bestu deild women's football league after a high-scoring 6-4 away win against Fram. The victory, coupled with Breiðablik's narrow 1-0 win over Grindavík/Njarðvík, keeps FH level on points with Breiðablik at 33, with FH leading on goal difference.

In a thrilling match in Úlfarsárdalur, FH established an early lead with goals from Helena Errington and Ída Marín Hermannsdóttir. Despite Fram's comeback attempts in the second half, with Alda Ólafsdóttir scoring twice and Nia Christopher adding another for FH, the match concluded with a flurry of late goals. Taylor Hamlett scored a late consolation for Fram, but FH secured the crucial three points.

Meanwhile, Breiðablik's victory over Grindavík/Njarðvík was a more subdued affair. Katie Doung's ninth-minute goal, assisted by Hrafnhildur Ása Halldórsdóttir, proved to be the only score of the game. Despite dominating possession and creating further chances, Breiðablik could not extend their lead, ultimately settling for a 1-0 win.

In another fixture, Þróttur moved further away from the relegation zone by defeating Val 3-2 at home. Unnur Dóra Bergsdóttir, Kayla Rollins, and Björg Gunnlaugsdóttir scored for Þróttur in the first half. Val attempted a second-half comeback with a penalty and another goal, but could not overcome the deficit, leaving them with 13 points while Þróttur climbs to sixth place with 18 points.

The American scores the tenth goal of the match. What a feast in Úlfarsárdalur.
