  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Ari Skulason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - Alfreð Finnbogason needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu is having his name booked by the referee on 44.

  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 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 Bjorn Sigurðarson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
