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' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Jon Daði Boðvarsson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Brian Idowu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 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 Ari Skulason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Ragnar Sigurðsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Brian Idowu departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
  • 59' - Horður Magnusson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 64' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson is replacing Jon Daði Boðvarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 85' - Odion Ighalo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 85 minute.
  • 87' - The whistle greets Aron Einar Gunnarsson as he departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Oghenekaro Etebo departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
