Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Argentina gets underway.
  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 14' - Lionel Messi puts Argentina on the lead.
  • 19' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 19 minutes.
  • 24' - Nicolas Tagliafico has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 29' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gabriel Mercado made 370 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 32' - Leon Balogun is having his name booked by the referee on 32.
  • 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 Oghenekaro Etebo 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.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Kelechi Iheanacho by Odion Ighalo on 46 minute.
  • 49' - It’s a booking for Argentina player. Javier Mascherano gets a Yellow card.
  • 51' - Goal! Victor Moses scores his 10 goal in 331 matches.

  • 61' - Time for substitution for Argentina. Enzo Perez is replaced by Cristian Pavon.
  • 64' - It’s a booking for Argentina player. Ever Banega gets a Yellow card.
  • 69' - Nigeria 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.
  • 72' - Maximiliano Meza has so much to prove this time. He replaces Angel di Maria on 72 minute.
  • 77' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 80' - It is a substitution in Argentina team. Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Sergio Aguero on 80 minute.
  • 85' - It looks surprising Argentina does not make any changes. Francis Uzoho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 90' - The referee calls foul for John Obi Mikel. He receives a Yellow card.
