Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Nigeria to score. At the same time, Iceland does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Iceland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' - Ahmed Musa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bjorn Sigurðarson made 101 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Ragnar Sigurðsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. Brian Idowu gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Tyronne Ebuehi. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 64' - 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 Sverrir Ingi Ingason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason is replacing Ragnar Sigurðsson for the Iceland side.
  • 70' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 71' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - Odion Ighalo is replacing Kelechi Iheanacho for the Nigeria side.
  • 87' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Oghenekaro Etebo departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
