Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Francis Uzoho, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' - 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 Ari Skulason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kenneth Omeruo made 105 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 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.

  • 40' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
