Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Nigeria gets underway.
  • 5' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' - Aron Einar Gunnarsson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Iceland that had 101 games and scored 11 goals.
  • 35' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 40' - Ari Skulason needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Brian Idowu departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 59' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 64' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Kari Arnason, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Ragnar Sigurðsson as he departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - Another change for Nigeria made on 85 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Oghenekaro Etebo as he departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Iceland.
