  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hannes Þor Halldorsson made 204 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu is having his name booked by the referee on 44.

  • 54' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - William Troost-Ekong has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 65' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Ragnar Sigurðsson departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.

  • 87' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
