Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Nigeria and Iceland is underway.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Birkir Bjarnason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - Iceland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for 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' - Jon Daði Boðvarsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 44' - Brian Idowu was booked on 44.
  • 46' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tyronne Ebuehi is hanging Brian Idowu on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - What a strike from Ahmed Musa! The score is 1-0.
  • 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 Aron Einar Gunnarsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' - William Troost-Ekong has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 64' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 64.
  • 65' - Another change for Iceland made on 65 minute. Ragnar Sigurðsson leaves to be changed by Sverrir Ingi Ingason.
  • 70' - 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.
  • 71' - It is a substitution in Iceland team. Jon Daði Boðvarsson is replaced by Bjorn Sigurðarson on 71 minute.
  • 75' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 75. Assisted by Kenneth Omeruo
  • 80' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 85' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odion Ighalo is hanging Kelechi Iheanacho on the field on 85 minute.
  • 87' - The Iceland manager makes a substitution. Aron Einar Gunnarsson departs to be replaced by Ari Freyr Skulason.
  • 90' - The whistle greets Oghenekaro Etebo as he departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
