Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 5' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Hannes Þor Halldorsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 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 Ari Skulason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 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' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Ragnar Sigurðsson departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 71' - The whistle greets Jon Daði Boðvarsson as he departs to be replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.

  • 87' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Aron Einar Gunnarsson by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
