Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 5' - Francis Uzoho needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' - William Troost-Ekong has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' - Nigeria is showing some good football. However, Nigeria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. Brian Idowu gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Brian Idowu as he departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Oghenekaro Etebo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - 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 Leon Balogun suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 85' - The supporters are chanting for Odion Ighalo. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 85 minute.
  • 87' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
  • 90' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Oghenekaro Etebo departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Full Time. Nigeria beats Iceland
