Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Nigeria to score. At the same time, Argentina does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 14' - GOAL! Lionel Messi scores on 14. Assisted by Ever Banega
  • 19' - The travelling Argentina supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 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' - 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' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Leon Balogun.
  • 37' - Nigeria 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. Kenneth Omeruo made 105 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Kelechi Iheanacho departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 49' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Javier Mascherano on 49.
  • 51' - Goal! Victor Moses scores his 10 goal in 331 matches.
  • 56' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 61' - Argentina manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Cristian Pavon is hanging Enzo Perez on the field on 61 minute.
  • 64' - Ever Banega is having his name booked by the referee on 64.
  • 69' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 72' - The whistle greets Angel di Maria as he departs to be replaced by Maximiliano Meza.
  • 77' - 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.
  • 80' - Time for substitution for Argentina. Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Sergio Aguero.
  • 85' - It’s high time Jorge Sampaoli made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 86' - Sensational shot from Marcos Rojo. Argentina is back in the lead.
  • 90' - John Obi Mikel is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • 90' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Kenneth Omeruo departs to be replaced by Alex Iwobi.
