Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 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 Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Horður Magnusson made 308 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' - Birkir Bjarnason needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' - Brian Idowu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 44' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 44.
  • 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. Sverrir Ingi Ingason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 59' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 64' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Iceland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Ragnar Sigurðsson as he departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
  • 85' - Another change for Nigeria made on 85 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Another change for Iceland made on 87 minute. Aron Einar Gunnarsson leaves to be changed by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Oghenekaro Etebo is replaced by Alex Iwobi.
