Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to that hosts another battle between Nigeria and Iceland.
  • 5' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ahmed Musa made 4 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Jon Daði Boðvarsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Bjorn Sigurðarson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Brian Idowu.
  • 46' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tyronne Ebuehi is hanging Brian Idowu on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 49. Assisted by Victor Moses
  • 54' - 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.
  • 59' - 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.
  • 64' - 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.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Ragnar Sigurðsson as he departs to be replaced by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - John Obi Mikel has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 71' - The whistle greets Jon Daði Boðvarsson as he departs to be replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson.
  • 75' - Ahmed Musa with the second goal in the match!
  • 80' - 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.
  • 85' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo on 85 minute.
  • 87' - Ari Freyr Skulason is replacing Aron Einar Gunnarsson for the Iceland side.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Oghenekaro Etebo as he departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Full Time. Nigeria beats Iceland
