Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Iceland kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Bjorn Sigurðarson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Victor Moses made 331 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Kelechi Iheanacho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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 Wilfred Ndidi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' - 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.

  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Tyronne Ebuehi. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 65' - Another change for Iceland made on 65 minute. Ragnar Sigurðsson leaves to be changed by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' - The whistle greets Kelechi Iheanacho as he departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
