  • 10' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 14' - GOAL! Lionel Messi scores on 14. Assisted by Ever Banega
  • 19' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Gabriel Mercado, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 24' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Victor Moses made 331 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 29' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
  • 32' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Leon Balogun.
  • 37' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 42' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 46' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo on 46 minute.

  • 64' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ever Banega.
  • 69' - 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 Brian Idowu suffering a number of foals already.
