The 32-year-old Goalkeeper has been battling acute leukaemia which made him sit out of the Super Eagles World Cup and Wolves squad.
Ahead of the Group D game on Friday, Iceland players sent their best wishes to Ikeme, with Ikeme’s name imprinted on the number 1 jersey of Iceland.
The Super Eagles won the game, 2:0, thanks to pacy forward Ahmed Musa, who scored both goals.
