Live comments

  • 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' - 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' - 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 Hannes Þor Halldorsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - Horður Magnusson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - It looks like no one’s ball. Iceland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - Jon Daði Boðvarsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Brian Idowu by Tyronne Ebuehi on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 54' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
  • 59' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Ragnar Sigurðsson as he departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 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' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 85' - The whistle greets Kelechi Iheanacho as he departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi is replacing Oghenekaro Etebo for the Nigeria side.
  • With this win, Nigeria is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
