Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - Ari Skulason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rurik Gislason made 101 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Alfreð Finnbogason, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Brian Idowu on 44.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Brian Idowu as he departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - 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 Kelechi Iheanacho suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 64' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 65' - Another change for Iceland made on 65 minute. Ragnar Sigurðsson leaves to be changed by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 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' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Jon Daði Boðvarsson by Bjorn Sigurðarson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
  • 85' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odion Ighalo is hanging Kelechi Iheanacho on the field on 85 minute.
  • 87' - The whistle greets Aron Einar Gunnarsson as he departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Oghenekaro Etebo is replaced by Alex Iwobi on 90 minute.
