Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to that hosts another battle between Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 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 Rurik Gislason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
  • 30' - Kari Arnason needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 59' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 59.
  • 64' - Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 65' - Another change for Iceland made on 65 minute. Ragnar Sigurðsson leaves to be changed by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 71' - The supporters are chanting for Bjorn Sigurðarson. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 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 is replacing Kelechi Iheanacho for the Nigeria side.
  • 87' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Aron Einar Gunnarsson departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Oghenekaro Etebo on 90 minute.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Iceland.
