Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Nigeria is hosting Argentina for another epic battle.
  • 5' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 14' - Goal! Lionel Messi scores his 177 goal in 448 matches.
  • 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 travelling Argentina supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 29' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 32' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Leon Balogun.
  • 37' - Argentina 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.
  • 42' - Argentina is showing some good football. However, Argentina are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Odion Ighalo. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 46 minute.
  • 49' - Javier Mascherano is having his name booked by the referee on 49.
  • 51' - Goal! Victor Moses scores his 10 goal in 331 matches.
  • 56' - 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.
  • 61' - Cristian Pavon is replacing Enzo Perez for the Argentina side.
  • 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 Leon Balogun suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' - It is a substitution in Argentina team. Angel di Maria is replaced by Maximiliano Meza on 72 minute.
  • 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' - Another substitution for Argentina to replace Nicolas Tagliafico by Sergio Aguero on 80 minute.
  • 85' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kelechi Iheanacho made 291 appearances and scored 48 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 86' - Sensational shot from Marcos Rojo. Argentina is back in the lead.
  • 90' - John Obi Mikel was booked on 90.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Kenneth Omeruo is replaced by Alex Iwobi.
  • Another three points for Argentina.
