Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Nigeria is hosting Argentina for another epic battle.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Sergio Aguero has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - 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 Franco Armani suffering a number of foals already.
  • 14' - Argentina is taking the lead after the goal scored by Lionel Messi on 14.
  • 19' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 24' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 24 minutes.
  • 29' - 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.
  • 32' - Leon Balogun was booked on 32.
  • 37' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. William Troost-Ekong made 409 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 42' - It’s high time Jorge Sampaoli made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' - Another change for Nigeria made on 46 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
  • 49' - Argentina receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 49.
  • 51' - GOAL! Victor Moses scores on 51.
  • 56' - Maximiliano Meza has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 77' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Argentina needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 80' - Sergio Aguero has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nicolas Tagliafico on 80 minute.
  • 85' - 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.

  • 90' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
