Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Nigeria to score. At the same time, Iceland does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 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 Ari Skulason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Oghenekaro Etebo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - Horður Magnusson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu was booked on 44.
  • 46' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Brian Idowu is replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 64' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Kelechi Iheanacho, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 65' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - 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.

  • 75' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 75. Assisted by Kenneth Omeruo
  • 80' - Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 85' - Another change for Nigeria made on 85 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ari Freyr Skulason is hanging Aron Einar Gunnarsson on the field on 87 minute.
