Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Nigeria is hosting Iceland for another epic battle.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Ragnar Sigurðsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - Iceland seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 15' - Victor Moses needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 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 Brian Idowu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - 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.

  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
