Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Nigeria gets underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Horður Magnusson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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.

  • 35' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 40' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alfreð Finnbogason made 101 appearances and scored 23 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
