Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Iceland kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Leon Balogun has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Birkir Bjarnason made 281 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 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' - Another change for Nigeria made on 46 minute. Brian Idowu leaves to be changed by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 64.
  • 65' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - Iceland 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.
  • 71' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bjorn Sigurðarson is hanging Jon Daði Boðvarsson on the field on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' - The whistle greets Kelechi Iheanacho as he departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - Another change for Nigeria made on 90 minute. Oghenekaro Etebo leaves to be changed by Alex Iwobi.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Iceland.
