Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Nigeria and Argentina.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Argentina does not make any changes. Ahmed Musa 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 John Obi Mikel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 14' - What a strike from Lionel Messi! The score is 0-1.
  • 19' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 19 minutes.
  • 24' - 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.
  • 29' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 32' - Leon Balogun is having his name booked by the referee on 32.
  • 37' - Argentina started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
  • 42' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gabriel Mercado made 370 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' - Odion Ighalo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Javier Mascherano is having his name booked by the referee on 49.
  • 51' - What a strike from Victor Moses! The score is 1-1.
  • 56' - It looks like no one’s ball. Argentina is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 61' - Time for substitution for Argentina. Enzo Perez is replaced by Cristian Pavon.
  • 64' - Argentina player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 69' - 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.
  • 72' - Time for substitution for Argentina. Angel di Maria is replaced by Maximiliano Meza.
  • 77' - Angel di Maria has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 37 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 80' - Time for substitution for Argentina. Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Sergio Aguero.
  • 85' - 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.
  • 86' - Goal! Marcos Rojo scores his 5 goal in 337 matches.
  • 90' - John Obi Mikel is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • 90' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Kenneth Omeruo by Alex Iwobi on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Argentina players.
