  • 5' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Kari Arnason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Wilfred Ndidi, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' - Ahmed Musa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 54' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 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' - 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 Bjorn Sigurðarson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Ragnar Sigurðsson departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
