Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to that hosts another battle between Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Leon Balogun, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 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 Wilfred Ndidi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 44' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Brian Idowu is replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 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' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason is replacing Ragnar Sigurðsson for the Iceland side.
  • 70' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Hannes Þor Halldorsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 71' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Jon Daði Boðvarsson by Bjorn Sigurðarson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
  • 85' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Kelechi Iheanacho departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Aron Einar Gunnarsson by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi is replacing Oghenekaro Etebo for the Nigeria side.
