Bermudian international Nia Christopher delivered a sensational second-half cameo to help FH Hafnarfjörður secure their place in the Icelandic Cup Semi-Finals with a dominant 7-0 victory over Selfoss.
The contest was effectively over as a spectacle within the opening twenty minutes as the visitors unleashed a relentless attacking display. Ingibjorg Magnusdottir ignited the scoring in just the third minute of play, providing the clinical edge that would define the afternoon. The lead was doubled only four minutes later when Helena Errington found the back of the net, and the mountain became even steeper for Selfoss in the 16th minute as Magnusdottir notched her second of the match to ensure a commanding 3-0 cushion at the interval.
The second half followed a similar pattern of one-way traffic. Berglind Hlynsdottir extended the advantage to four in the 59th minute, but the true talking point arrived shortly after with the introduction of Nia Christopher. Stepping onto the pitch in the 62nd minute, the Bermudian striker wasted no time in making her presence felt, taking just three minutes to open her account and further demoralise the Selfoss defence.
Christopher continued to terrorise the backline with her pace and movement, doubling her scoring in the 77th minute before completing a remarkable hat-trick six minutes from time. Her clinical twenty-minute blitz served as a definitive statement of intent, capping off a flawless team performance and ensuring Hafnarfjörður progressed to the final four in emphatic style. The result underscores FH's credentials as serious contenders for the trophy as they await their semi-final opponents.
