  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Wilfred Ndidi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - Alfreð Finnbogason needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Jon Daði Boðvarsson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' - 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' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tyronne Ebuehi is hanging Brian Idowu on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - The supporters are chanting for Odion Ighalo. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 85 minute.
  • 87' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Aron Einar Gunnarsson departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
