Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Nigeria to score. At the same time, Iceland does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - Iceland 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.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Wilfred Ndidi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - Kenneth Omeruo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 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' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Ragnar Sigurðsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 65' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Ragnar Sigurðsson by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - 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 Brian Idowu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson is replacing Jon Daði Boðvarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odion Ighalo is hanging Kelechi Iheanacho on the field on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Ari Freyr Skulason is replacing Aron Einar Gunnarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 90' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Oghenekaro Etebo departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • The final score is 2-0.
