Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from John Obi Mikel, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 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' - 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 Birkir Bjarnason suffering a number of foals already.
  • 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' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ari Skulason made 30 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 44' - The referee calls foul for Brian Idowu. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Brian Idowu departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ahmed Musa on 49.
  • 54' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Kari Arnason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 59' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 64' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ragnar Sigurðsson on 65 minute.
  • 70' - Iceland is showing some good football. However, Iceland are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 71' - The supporters are chanting for Bjorn Sigurðarson. He replaces Jon Daði Boðvarsson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - Goal! Ahmed Musa scores his 4 goal in 4 matches.
  • 80' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 85' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Aron Einar Gunnarsson is replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason on 87 minute.
