Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bjorn Sigurðarson made 101 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 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' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 44.
  • 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' - 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.
  • 59' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Rurik Gislason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 64' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 65' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Ragnar Sigurðsson departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson is replacing Jon Daði Boðvarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 75. Assisted by Kenneth Omeruo
  • 80' - Leon Balogun needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 85' - Another change for Nigeria made on 85 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - The supporters are chanting for Ari Freyr Skulason. He replaces Aron Einar Gunnarsson on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi is replacing Oghenekaro Etebo for the Nigeria side.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Nigeria players.
