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' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 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' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Aron Einar Gunnarsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - Horður Magnusson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - 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 Francis Uzoho suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' - Iceland is showing some good football. However, Iceland are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 44' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 44.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Victor Moses made 331 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 85' - The supporters are chanting for Odion Ighalo. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 85 minute.
  • 87' - The supporters are chanting for Ari Freyr Skulason. He replaces Aron Einar Gunnarsson on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Another change for Nigeria made on 90 minute. Oghenekaro Etebo leaves to be changed by Alex Iwobi.
  • Full Time. Nigeria beats Iceland
