  • 0' - KICK OFF: Nigeria gets underway.
  • 5' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 10' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.

  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 35' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Francis Uzoho made 4 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 54' - Iceland seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 80' - Nigeria is showing some good football. However, Nigeria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 87' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
