Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kari Arnason made 101 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Horður Magnusson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 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 Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 40' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. Brian Idowu gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Brian Idowu is replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 59' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason is replacing Ragnar Sigurðsson for the Iceland side.
  • 70' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
  • 71' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bjorn Sigurðarson is hanging Jon Daði Boðvarsson on the field on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 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.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Oghenekaro Etebo on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Nigeria players.
