Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - Nigeria 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.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu was booked on 44.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Brian Idowu by Tyronne Ebuehi on 46 minute.
  • 49' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 49. Assisted by Victor Moses
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 64' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 65' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Ragnar Sigurðsson is replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Leon Balogun has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 71' - Time for substitution for Iceland. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 85' - The whistle greets Kelechi Iheanacho as he departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - The whistle greets Aron Einar Gunnarsson as he departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi is replacing Oghenekaro Etebo for the Nigeria side.
