  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Kari Arnason, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kelechi Iheanacho made 291 appearances and scored 48 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 30' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

  • 54' - Wilfred Ndidi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 59' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 64' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
