Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Birkir Mar Saevarsson made 107 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Iceland seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' - 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 Oghenekaro Etebo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 59' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 64' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Ari Skulason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
  • 71' - Another change for Iceland made on 71 minute. Jon Daði Boðvarsson leaves to be changed by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - Kari Arnason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 85' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Ari Freyr Skulason is replacing Aron Einar Gunnarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Oghenekaro Etebo is replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Nigeria players.
