VOLGOGRAD, Russia, June 22 (Reuters) – Chances proved few and far between in an uninspiring clash in hot conditions as Iceland and Nigeria went into halftime goalless in their Group D clash at the Volgograd Arena on Friday.

Iceland’s Gylfi Sigurdsson had a freekick tipped over the top and a shot saved in the opneing five minutes and on the stroke of halftime delivered a freekick that offered a chance to Alfred Finnbogason to break the deadlock. (Reporting by Mark Gleeson in Nizhny Novgorod; Editing by Hugh Lawson)
