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 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 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' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Wilfred Ndidi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - 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 Jon Daði Boðvarsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 44' - Brian Idowu is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi is replacing Brian Idowu for the Nigeria side.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - Another change for Nigeria made on 85 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ari Freyr Skulason is hanging Aron Einar Gunnarsson on the field on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Oghenekaro Etebo is replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Another three points for Nigeria.
