  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Nigeria is hosting Iceland for another epic battle.
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 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' - 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 Rurik Gislason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Victor Moses made 331 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 54' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
  • 59' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 64' - Aron Einar Gunnarsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 65' - Another change for Iceland made on 65 minute. Ragnar Sigurðsson leaves to be changed by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Jon Daði Boðvarsson departs to be replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 75. Assisted by Kenneth Omeruo
  • 80' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 85' - Odion Ighalo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 85 minute.
  • 87' - The supporters are chanting for Ari Freyr Skulason. He replaces Aron Einar Gunnarsson on 87 minute.
