Fylkir moved up to second place in the Urvalsdelid today after scoring twice in the last five minutes to beat FH Hafnarfjördur 2-1.
Late drama
It all looked to be going wrong for Fylkir as second from bottom FH took the lead through Jonas Grani Gardarsson with just 13 minutes left. But the home side drew level thanks to Bjorn Vidar Asbjörnsson, before Sverrir Sverrisson popped up with the winner in the 89th minute. That result lifts Fylkir above KA Akureyri into second place, two points behind leaders KR Reykjavík.
