  • 32' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 37' - 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 Leon Balogun suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' - 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.

  • 77' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Enzo Perez, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 80' - Sergio Aguero has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nicolas Tagliafico on 80 minute.
  • 85' - 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.
  • 86' - What a strike from Marcos Rojo! The score is 1-2.
  • 90' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for John Obi Mikel.
