Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Nigeria gets underway.
  • 5' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 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 Horður Magnusson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Iceland that had 101 games and scored 11 goals.
  • 44' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 44.
  • 46' - Another change for Nigeria made on 46 minute. Brian Idowu leaves to be changed by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Ahmed Musa puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 54' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 59' - Jon Daði Boðvarsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 64' - Birkir Bjarnason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 39 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 65' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Ragnar Sigurðsson by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - The whistle greets Jon Daði Boðvarsson as he departs to be replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 85' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo on 85 minute.
  • 87' - The whistle greets Aron Einar Gunnarsson as he departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi is replacing Oghenekaro Etebo for the Nigeria side.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Iceland.
