  • 5' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from John Obi Mikel, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - Iceland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 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' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' - 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 Jon Daði Boðvarsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' - Tyronne Ebuehi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brian Idowu on 46 minute.

  • 70' - 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.

  • 75' - GOAL! Ahmed Musa scores on 75. Assisted by Kenneth Omeruo
  • 80' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Bjorn Sigurðarson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 85' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odion Ighalo is hanging Kelechi Iheanacho on the field on 85 minute.
  • 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.
