  • 5' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 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' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Victor Moses made 331 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Gylfi Þor Sigurðsson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' - Kelechi Iheanacho has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' - 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.

  • 49' - Ahmed Musa puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 54' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 59' - Kenneth Omeruo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
