Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Argentina.
  • 5' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Francis Uzoho made 4 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 14' - GOAL! Lionel Messi scores on 14. Assisted by Ever Banega
  • 19' - The travelling Argentina supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 24' - It’s high time Jorge Sampaoli made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 29' - Wilfred Ndidi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 32' - The referee calls foul for Leon Balogun. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 37' - 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 Marcos Rojo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' - Odion Ighalo is replacing Kelechi Iheanacho for the Nigeria side.
  • 49' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Javier Mascherano.
  • 51' - What a strike from Victor Moses! The score is 1-1.
  • 56' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 61' - Cristian Pavon is replacing Enzo Perez for the Argentina side.
  • 64' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ever Banega.
  • 69' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Argentina that had 25 games and scored 44 goals.
  • 72' - Argentina manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Maximiliano Meza is hanging Angel di Maria on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 80' - Sergio Aguero is replacing Nicolas Tagliafico for the Argentina side.
  • 85' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Maximiliano Meza has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 86' - Goal! Marcos Rojo scores his 5 goal in 337 matches.
  • 90' - The referee calls foul for John Obi Mikel. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kenneth Omeruo on 90 minute.
