Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 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' - 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.
  • 25' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' - Birkir Bjarnason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 39 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 35' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ari Skulason made 30 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Brian Idowu by Tyronne Ebuehi on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Ahmed Musa puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 54' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Ragnar Sigurðsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sverrir Ingi Ingason is hanging Ragnar Sigurðsson on the field on 65 minute.
  • 70' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 71' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Jon Daði Boðvarsson departs to be replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
  • 85' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Ari Freyr Skulason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aron Einar Gunnarsson on 87 minute.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Oghenekaro Etebo as he departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Another three points for Nigeria.
