Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Iceland is showing some good football. However, Iceland are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Ragnar Sigurðsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Brian Idowu on 44.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Brian Idowu departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 49. Assisted by Victor Moses
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - 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 Rurik Gislason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 64' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - Leon Balogun has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odion Ighalo is hanging Kelechi Iheanacho on the field on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ari Freyr Skulason is hanging Aron Einar Gunnarsson on the field on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Oghenekaro Etebo by Alex Iwobi on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
