Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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 Wilfred Ndidi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oghenekaro Etebo made 321 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' - Ragnar Sigurðsson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 44' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 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' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 59' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 59.
  • 64' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Birkir Mar Saevarsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 65' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 71' - The whistle greets Jon Daði Boðvarsson as he departs to be replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 85' - Odion Ighalo is replacing Kelechi Iheanacho for the Nigeria side.
  • 87' - Ari Freyr Skulason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aron Einar Gunnarsson on 87 minute.
  • 90' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Oghenekaro Etebo is replaced by Alex Iwobi on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Nigeria players.
