Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Victor Moses has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' - 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.
  • 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 Alfreð Finnbogason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Brian Idowu is replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Ahmed Musa puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 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' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 64' - Horður Magnusson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 65' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Ragnar Sigurðsson by Sverrir Ingi Ingason on 65 minute.
  • 70' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 71' - Another change for Iceland made on 71 minute. Jon Daði Boðvarsson leaves to be changed by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - William Troost-Ekong needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 85' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Kelechi Iheanacho by Odion Ighalo on 85 minute.
  • 87' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Aron Einar Gunnarsson departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Oghenekaro Etebo departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Nigeria and Iceland (для сухой ничьи).
