  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - Nigeria seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 67' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
