  • 10' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' - 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 Aron Einar Gunnarsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - Nigeria is showing some good football. However, Nigeria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - Supporters expect more eagerness from John Obi Mikel, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
