  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Bjorn Sigurðarson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Sverrir Ingi Ingason, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Brian Idowu has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 40' - 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 Kelechi Iheanacho suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' - The referee calls foul for Brian Idowu. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi is replacing Brian Idowu for the Nigeria side.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 64' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 65' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Ragnar Sigurðsson by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Iceland that had 101 games and scored 11 goals.
  • 85' - The whistle greets Kelechi Iheanacho as he departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Ari Freyr Skulason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aron Einar Gunnarsson on 87 minute.
