Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Argentina does not make any changes. Kelechi Iheanacho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 14' - What a strike from Lionel Messi! The score is 0-1.
  • 19' - 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.
  • 24' - 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.
  • 29' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 29 minutes.
  • 32' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Leon Balogun on 32.
  • 37' - Argentina is showing some good football. However, Argentina are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 42' - Argentina 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.
  • 46' - Odion Ighalo is replacing Kelechi Iheanacho for the Nigeria side.
  • 49' - Javier Mascherano is having his name booked by the referee on 49.
  • 51' - Goal! Victor Moses scores his 10 goal in 331 matches.
  • 56' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
  • 61' - It is a substitution in Argentina team. Enzo Perez is replaced by Cristian Pavon on 61 minute.
  • 64' - Ever Banega was booked on 64.
  • 69' - 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 Ever Banega suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' - Maximiliano Meza has so much to prove this time. He replaces Angel di Maria on 72 minute.
  • 77' - Nicolas Tagliafico needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 80' - Another change for Argentina made on 80 minute. Nicolas Tagliafico leaves to be changed by Sergio Aguero.
  • 85' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 86' - GOAL! Marcos Rojo scores on 86. Assisted by Gabriel Mercado
  • 90' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for John Obi Mikel.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kenneth Omeruo on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Argentina players.
