  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - 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 Francis Uzoho suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.

  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
