ISAron Birkir Stefánsson became the fourth goalkeeper in Icelandic top-tier men’s football history to score a goal outside of a penalty kick during a 3-3 draw between Þórskafli and KR. The last time a goalkeeper scored a non-penalty goal in the top division was in June 1978, when Jón Þorbjörnsson scored for Skagafjall against Vikingur. This occurred at the old Hallgrímsvöllur stadium, now home to Þróttur. Jón described his goal as unexpected and noted that it was necessary for a player like Diðriki Ólafsson, who was injured, to receive such a goal. Albert Sævarsson was the most recent goalkeeper to score a non-penalty goal in the top division, doing so in 2010. Earlier, Þorsteinn Ólafsson scored a non-penalty goal in 1976 before moving to Sweden for education.
