Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Nigeria gets underway.
  • 5' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson made 266 appearances and scored 30 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - Jon Daði Boðvarsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 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 Francis Uzoho suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 46' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tyronne Ebuehi is hanging Brian Idowu on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 49. Assisted by Victor Moses
  • 54' - Iceland 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' - 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.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason is replacing Ragnar Sigurðsson for the Iceland side.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - Kari Arnason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 85' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Kelechi Iheanacho departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ari Freyr Skulason is hanging Aron Einar Gunnarsson on the field on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Another change for Nigeria made on 90 minute. Oghenekaro Etebo leaves to be changed by Alex Iwobi.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
