Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to that hosts another battle between Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - Aron Einar Gunnarsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi is replacing Brian Idowu for the Nigeria side.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jon Daði Boðvarsson made 235 appearances and scored 30 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Ragnar Sigurðsson departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - The supporters are chanting for Bjorn Sigurðarson. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - 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 Kenneth Omeruo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - Another change for Nigeria made on 90 minute. Oghenekaro Etebo leaves to be changed by Alex Iwobi.
  • With this win, Nigeria is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
