The story…
Iceland did it again in their first ever World Cup match by holding on of the tournament’s big teams to a draw, matching the outcome from their first ever Euro game in 2016 against Portugal. Their defensive might was tested and passed after the Argentina game, but they were helped by the fine save of the Messi penalty. Sadly for Nigeria this is their last chance to do something at the World Cup, as they have already gone down to Croatia and are yet to play Argentina. They look unlikely to progress.
