Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Nigeria and Argentina has kicked off!
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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 Otamendi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 14' - Argentina is taking the lead after the goal scored by Lionel Messi on 14.
  • 19' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 19 minutes.
  • 24' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 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 was booked on 32.
  • 37' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 46' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odion Ighalo is hanging Kelechi Iheanacho on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' - It’s a booking for Argentina player. Javier Mascherano gets a Yellow card.
  • 51' - GOAL! Victor Moses scores on 51.
  • 56' - Nigeria is showing some good football. However, Nigeria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 61' - Another change for Argentina made on 61 minute. Enzo Perez leaves to be changed by Cristian Pavon.
  • 64' - The referee shows Argentina player a Yellow card on 64.
