Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to that hosts another battle between Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - 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 Kenneth Omeruo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 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.
  • 15' - Leon Balogun needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Horður Magnusson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sverrir Ingi Ingason made 101 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' - The referee calls foul for Brian Idowu. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Brian Idowu by Tyronne Ebuehi on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - Ragnar Sigurðsson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason is replacing Ragnar Sigurðsson for the Iceland side.
  • 70' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.

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