  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Nigeria and Iceland has kicked off!
  • 5' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Francis Uzoho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' - Ragnar Sigurðsson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Tyronne Ebuehi. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Ahmed Musa puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 54' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ari Skulason made 30 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 59' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 64' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Ragnar Sigurðsson as he departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - 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 Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odion Ighalo is hanging Kelechi Iheanacho on the field on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ari Freyr Skulason is hanging Aron Einar Gunnarsson on the field on 87 minute.
  • 90' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Oghenekaro Etebo departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
