Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Nigeria and Argentina has kicked off!
  • 5' - The travelling Argentina supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 14' - Goal! Lionel Messi scores his 177 goal in 448 matches.
  • 19' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 24' - Argentina started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 24.
  • 29' - Nigeria is showing some good football. However, Nigeria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 32' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 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 Wilfred Ndidi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Kelechi Iheanacho by Odion Ighalo on 46 minute.
  • 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' - 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.
  • 61' - Cristian Pavon is replacing Enzo Perez for the Argentina side.
  • 64' - Ever Banega was booked on 64.
  • 69' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 72' - Maximiliano Meza has so much to prove this time. He replaces Angel di Maria on 72 minute.
  • 77' - 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.
  • 80' - It is a substitution in Argentina team. Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Sergio Aguero on 80 minute.
  • 85' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 86' - Marcos Rojo puts Argentina on the lead.
  • 90' - John Obi Mikel is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Kenneth Omeruo is replaced by Alex Iwobi.
