Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' - 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 Kenneth Omeruo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Iceland that had 101 games and scored 11 goals.
  • 25' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 44' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 44.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 59' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson made 266 appearances and scored 30 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 64' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 65' - Another change for Iceland made on 65 minute. Ragnar Sigurðsson leaves to be changed by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - Ragnar Sigurðsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 71' - Another change for Iceland made on 71 minute. Jon Daði Boðvarsson leaves to be changed by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 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' - Odion Ighalo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho 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' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alex Iwobi is hanging Oghenekaro Etebo on the field on 90 minute.
  • With this win, Nigeria is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
