  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Ahmed Musa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. Brian Idowu gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Brian Idowu is replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 59' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 59.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 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 Rurik Gislason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bjorn Sigurðarson is hanging Jon Daði Boðvarsson on the field on 71 minute.
