Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Iceland kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Ahmed Musa, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. John Obi Mikel made 323 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 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 Jon Daði Boðvarsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 35' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' - Leon Balogun has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Brian Idowu is replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 49. Assisted by Victor Moses
  • 54' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 59' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 64' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Iceland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 65' - Another change for Iceland made on 65 minute. Ragnar Sigurðsson leaves to be changed by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Aron Einar Gunnarsson by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Oghenekaro Etebo is replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Another three points for Nigeria.
