  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - Oghenekaro Etebo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 25' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 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 Aron Einar Gunnarsson suffering a number of foals already.

  • 59' - Iceland is showing some good football. However, Iceland are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 64' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brian Idowu made 265 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 65' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Ragnar Sigurðsson departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
