Vikingur Reykjavik edge thrilling five-goal clash

A seesaw battle sees Vikingur come out on top in a tight UEFA Europa League encounter.

Vikingur Reykjavik secured a narrow 3-2 victory over FC Thun in a lively UEFA Europa League match. FC Thun struck first through F. Fehr, but Vikingur responded quickly with goals from G. Sigurðsson and Stígur Diljan Þórðarson before the break. Despite B. Labeau's effort to keep Thun in the game, V. Ingimundarson's second-half strike sealed the win for the hosts. Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a Vikingur win was on the money, though the actual scoreline proved far more entertaining than the modest 1-0 forecast.
