Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Nigeria gets underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 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 Birkir Mar Saevarsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Kelechi Iheanacho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' - Horður Magnusson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 40' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Birkir Bjarnason made 281 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 44.
  • 46' - Another change for Nigeria made on 46 minute. Brian Idowu leaves to be changed by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - Bjorn Sigurðarson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 64' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Sverrir Ingi Ingason. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 71' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Jon Daði Boðvarsson by Bjorn Sigurðarson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 75. Assisted by Kenneth Omeruo
  • 80' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 85' - Odion Ighalo is replacing Kelechi Iheanacho for the Nigeria side.
  • 87' - Ari Freyr Skulason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aron Einar Gunnarsson on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Oghenekaro Etebo on 90 minute.
