Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 5' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. William Troost-Ekong made 409 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Brian Idowu is replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - Horður Magnusson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 59' - Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - Another change for Iceland made on 65 minute. Ragnar Sigurðsson leaves to be changed by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Hannes Þor Halldorsson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
