  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - Ari Skulason needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 15' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Sverrir Ingi Ingason, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' - Kelechi Iheanacho has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' - 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 Rurik Gislason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 59' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
  • 64' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 64.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Leon Balogun made 272 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
