Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to that hosts another battle between Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - Jon Daði Boðvarsson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - 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 William Troost-Ekong suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 44' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 46' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tyronne Ebuehi is hanging Brian Idowu on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 54.
  • 59' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 64' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rurik Gislason made 101 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - Brian Idowu needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson is replacing Jon Daði Boðvarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 85' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Kelechi Iheanacho departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Another change for Iceland made on 87 minute. Aron Einar Gunnarsson leaves to be changed by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Oghenekaro Etebo by Alex Iwobi on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
