Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Nigeria to score. At the same time, Iceland does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Kelechi Iheanacho, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 44.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Brian Idowu by Tyronne Ebuehi on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 59' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Iceland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 64' - 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 Ragnar Sigurðsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 71' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bjorn Sigurðarson is hanging Jon Daði Boðvarsson on the field on 71 minute.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 75. Assisted by Kenneth Omeruo
  • 80' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 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.
