Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Nigeria and Iceland has kicked off!
  • 5' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 30' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. William Troost-Ekong made 409 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - 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 Aron Einar Gunnarsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu was booked on 44.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Ahmed Musa puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 54' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 59' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Ragnar Sigurðsson as he departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 71' - The supporters are chanting for Bjorn Sigurðarson. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - The supporters are chanting for Odion Ighalo. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 85 minute.
  • 87' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Aron Einar Gunnarsson departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - The supporters are chanting for Alex Iwobi. He replaces Oghenekaro Etebo on 90 minute.
  • The final score is 2-0.
