Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.

  • 10' - 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.
  • 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' - Wilfred Ndidi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 29' - Nigeria 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.
  • 32' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Leon Balogun.
  • 37' - Argentina is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 42' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 49' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Javier Mascherano on 49.
  • 51' - What a strike from Victor Moses! The score is 1-1.
  • 56' - The travelling Argentina supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 61' - It is a substitution in Argentina team. Enzo Perez is replaced by Cristian Pavon on 61 minute.
  • 64' - Argentina receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 64.
  • 69' - 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.
  • 72' - Time for substitution for Argentina. Angel di Maria is replaced by Maximiliano Meza.
  • 77' - 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 Nicolas Otamendi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' - Another change for Argentina made on 80 minute. Nicolas Tagliafico leaves to be changed by Sergio Aguero.
  • 85' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
