Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Iceland kicks off things out of here…
  • 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 Hannes Þor Halldorsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Kari Arnason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 40' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Iceland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Brian Idowu on 44.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Brian Idowu as he departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 59' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 59.
  • 64' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Kenneth Omeruo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 65' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Kelechi Iheanacho departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Another change for Nigeria made on 90 minute. Oghenekaro Etebo leaves to be changed by Alex Iwobi.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Nigeria players.
