  • 0' - Welcome to that hosts another battle between Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' - Ahmed Musa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 20' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kari Arnason made 101 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Brian Idowu as he departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Kelechi Iheanacho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Birkir Bjarnason, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Ragnar Sigurðsson as he departs to be 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 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' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
