  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Leon Balogun has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 40' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 44' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi is replacing Brian Idowu for the Nigeria side.
  • 49' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 49. Assisted by Victor Moses
  • 54' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 59' - Hannes Þor Halldorsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 64' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 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 Bjorn Sigurðarson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. William Troost-Ekong made 409 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 85' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Kelechi Iheanacho by Odion Ighalo on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Ari Freyr Skulason is replacing Aron Einar Gunnarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 90' - The supporters are chanting for Alex Iwobi. He replaces Oghenekaro Etebo on 90 minute.
