With the game seemingly heading for a 1-1 draw, the home side were awarded a penalty in the dying moments.
Up stepped Halldór Orri Björnsson to score with a delightful chip over the keeper. While it was undeniably a fine strike, if some way off the best penalty ever.
But the goal will be remembered for what followed - a beautifully choreographed manoeuvre in which Björnsson cast an imaginary fishing rod before 'reeling in' team-mate Daníel Laxdal.
The 'fish' was then picked up by several members of the team and held aloft as if he were a trophy, while another team-mate 'took a photo' for posterity. Stjarnan held on to win the match 2-1.
Awesome goal, never seen that in a futball game.
