Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 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 John Obi Mikel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Birkir Mar Saevarsson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Rurik Gislason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - Nigeria 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.
  • 59' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 64' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 65' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
