Umea FC Akademi Stuns Utsiktens BK in Season Opener Behind Bjørgolfsson’s Hat Trick
GOTHENBURG, Sweden (Interstat) — Umea FC Akademi delivered a stunning 4-1 road victory over Utsiktens BK in a Superettan match Saturday at Bravida Arena, defying pregame projections. Substitute Eythor Bjørgolfsson scored a second-half hat trick to power the upset.
Amadou Sanyang opened the scoring for the visitors in the 16th minute. Bjørgolfsson then netted just before halftime and again in the 57th minute. Jørgen Voilås added a fourth goal in stoppage time. The result was a surprise after Interstat’s metrics gave Utsiktens BK a 72 percent probability to win. The loss marks a disappointing start to the season for the home side.
