Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Nigeria and Iceland has kicked off!
  • 5' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Birkir Bjarnason made 281 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 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 Jon Daði Boðvarsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 40' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Tyronne Ebuehi. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 65' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sverrir Ingi Ingason is hanging Ragnar Sigurðsson on the field on 65 minute.
  • 70' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Kari Arnason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
  • 90' - The supporters are chanting for Alex Iwobi. He replaces Oghenekaro Etebo on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
