  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 14' - What a strike from Lionel Messi! The score is 0-1.
  • 19' - 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.
  • 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' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 32' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 37' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 42' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Kelechi Iheanacho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Kelechi Iheanacho by Odion Ighalo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Argentina player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 51' - Goal! Victor Moses scores his 10 goal in 331 matches.
  • 56' - Kenneth Omeruo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 61' - Another substitution for Argentina to replace Enzo Perez by Cristian Pavon on 61 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 Nicolas Tagliafico suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' - Another substitution for Argentina to replace Angel di Maria by Maximiliano Meza on 72 minute.
  • 77' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 85' - 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.
