Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Iceland gets underway.
  • 5' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Birkir Mar Saevarsson made 107 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 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' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Wilfred Ndidi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 59' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 64' - Leon Balogun has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 65' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Ragnar Sigurðsson by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - The supporters are chanting for Bjorn Sigurðarson. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 85' - Odion Ighalo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Oghenekaro Etebo by Alex Iwobi on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. Nigeria beats Iceland
