Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 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' - Ari Skulason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' - Kari Arnason needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - Another change for Nigeria made on 46 minute. Brian Idowu leaves to be changed by Tyronne Ebuehi.
  • 49' - Ahmed Musa puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 54' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Horður Magnusson made 308 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 65' - Sverrir Ingi Ingason is replacing Ragnar Sigurðsson for the Iceland side.
  • 70' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
  • 71' - The whistle greets Jon Daði Boðvarsson as he departs to be replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 2-0.
  • 80' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' - Another change for Nigeria made on 85 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
  • 87' - Iceland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ari Freyr Skulason is hanging Aron Einar Gunnarsson on the field on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Oghenekaro Etebo on 90 minute.
