  • 10' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 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 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 40' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu was booked on 44.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Brian Idowu is replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Sverrir Ingi Ingason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 64' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 65' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 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 Kenneth Omeruo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Jon Daði Boðvarsson departs to be replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Kelechi Iheanacho departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Aron Einar Gunnarsson by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Oghenekaro Etebo on 90 minute.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Iceland.
