  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Aron Einar Gunnarsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 35' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 44' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi is replacing Brian Idowu for the Nigeria side.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 59' - Bjorn Sigurðarson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 64' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 64.

  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
