Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 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 Oghenekaro Etebo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 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 travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' - Wilfred Ndidi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' - It looks surprising Iceland does not make any changes. Alfreð Finnbogason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Brian Idowu on 44.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Brian Idowu departs to be replaced by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 54' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 59' - Kenneth Omeruo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason is replacing Ragnar Sigurðsson for the Iceland side.
  • 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' - 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' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 85' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Kelechi Iheanacho by Odion Ighalo on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Another change for Iceland made on 87 minute. Aron Einar Gunnarsson leaves to be changed by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Oghenekaro Etebo as he departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Nigeria players.
