Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Nigeria and Iceland has kicked off!
  • 5' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. William Troost-Ekong has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Francis Uzoho, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 40' - 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 Hannes Þor Halldorsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Brian Idowu departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - Wilfred Ndidi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson is replacing Jon Daði Boðvarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - The whistle greets Kelechi Iheanacho as he departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - The whistle greets Aron Einar Gunnarsson as he departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
