Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - Cristian Pavon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 14' - What a strike from Lionel Messi! The score is 0-1.
  • 19' - 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.
  • 24' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 29' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 29 minutes.
  • 32' - Leon Balogun was booked on 32.
  • 37' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 42' - 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 Brian Idowu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 49' - Argentina player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 51' - GOAL! Victor Moses scores on 51.

  • 61' - Another substitution for Argentina to replace Enzo Perez by Cristian Pavon on 61 minute.
  • 64' - The referee calls foul for Ever Banega. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 69' - It looks surprising Argentina does not make any changes. John Obi Mikel has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 72' - The whistle greets Angel di Maria as he departs to be replaced by Maximiliano Meza.
  • 77' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 80' - Sergio Aguero is replacing Nicolas Tagliafico for the Argentina side.
  • 85' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 86' - Marcos Rojo puts Argentina on the lead.
  • 90' - John Obi Mikel is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kenneth Omeruo on 90 minute.
