Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Nigeria and Iceland has kicked off!
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hannes Þor Halldorsson made 204 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' - Bjorn Sigurðarson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' - 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 Kenneth Omeruo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 46' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tyronne Ebuehi is hanging Brian Idowu on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 59' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 64' - Iceland 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.
  • 65' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Horður Magnusson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson is replacing Jon Daði Boðvarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Rurik Gislason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 85' - The supporters are chanting for Odion Ighalo. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
