Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Iceland gets underway.
  • 5' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kenneth Omeruo made 105 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - 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 Kari Arnason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - Iceland 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' - 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.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Brian Idowu as he departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 65' - Another change for Iceland made on 65 minute. Ragnar Sigurðsson leaves to be changed by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Ari Skulason, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson is replacing Jon Daði Boðvarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 75. Assisted by Kenneth Omeruo
  • 80' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 85' - Another change for Nigeria made on 85 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Another change for Iceland made on 87 minute. Aron Einar Gunnarsson leaves to be changed by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Oghenekaro Etebo as he departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Nigeria players.
