Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Nigeria to score. At the same time, Argentina does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - Gabriel Mercado needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 14' - Goal! Lionel Messi scores his 177 goal in 448 matches.
  • 19' - 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.
  • 24' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 24 minutes.
  • 29' - 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.
  • 32' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Leon Balogun.
  • 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 Maximiliano Meza suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' - The travelling Argentina supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Kelechi Iheanacho as he departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 49' - Javier Mascherano was booked on 49.
  • 51' - Goal! Victor Moses scores his 10 goal in 331 matches.
  • 56' - 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.
  • 61' - Cristian Pavon is replacing Enzo Perez for the Argentina side.
  • 64' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ever Banega.
  • 69' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 72' - Another substitution for Argentina to replace Angel di Maria by Maximiliano Meza on 72 minute.
  • 77' - Argentina started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 77.
  • 80' - It is a substitution in Argentina team. Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Sergio Aguero on 80 minute.
  • 85' - 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.
  • 86' - Marcos Rojo puts Argentina on the lead.
  • 90' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. John Obi Mikel gets a Yellow card.
  • 90' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Kenneth Omeruo by Alex Iwobi on 90 minute.
