Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Iceland kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Aron Einar Gunnarsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rurik Gislason made 101 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 44' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 46' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Brian Idowu is replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
  • 59' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 64' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 64.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - 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 William Troost-Ekong suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' - Bjorn Sigurðarson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - Iceland 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.
  • 85' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Another substitution for Iceland to replace Aron Einar Gunnarsson by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi is replacing Oghenekaro Etebo for the Nigeria side.
  • The final score is 2-0.
