Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Iceland gets underway.
  • 5' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Kari Arnason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Leon Balogun needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 35' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 44' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Brian Idowu by Tyronne Ebuehi on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brian Idowu made 265 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 64 minutes.
  • 65' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Ragnar Sigurðsson by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odion Ighalo is hanging Kelechi Iheanacho on the field on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Oghenekaro Etebo is replaced by Alex Iwobi on 90 minute.
