Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 5' - 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 Bjorn Sigurðarson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' - Iceland is showing some good football. However, Iceland are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 40' - Kenneth Omeruo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu was booked on 44.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Brian Idowu departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aron Einar Gunnarsson made 313 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Ragnar Sigurðsson as he departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Kelechi Iheanacho by Odion Ighalo on 85 minute.
  • 87' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Oghenekaro Etebo by Alex Iwobi on 90 minute.
  • Another three points for Nigeria.
