Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Kelechi Iheanacho, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - Hannes Þor Halldorsson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 35' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' - Nigeria 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.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. Brian Idowu gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Another change for Nigeria made on 46 minute. Brian Idowu leaves to be changed by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - Bjorn Sigurðarson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 65' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Ragnar Sigurðsson by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Victor Moses made 331 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 85' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odion Ighalo is hanging Kelechi Iheanacho on the field on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Another change for Iceland made on 87 minute. Aron Einar Gunnarsson leaves to be changed by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi is replacing Oghenekaro Etebo for the Nigeria side.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Iceland.
