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' - Enzo Perez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 14' - What a strike from Lionel Messi! The score is 0-1.
  • 19' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 24' - 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.
  • 29' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 32' - Leon Balogun is having his name booked by the referee on 32.
  • 37' - Argentina started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
  • 42' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 46' - Another change for Nigeria made on 46 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Odion Ighalo.
  • 49' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Javier Mascherano.
  • 51' - Goal! Victor Moses scores his 10 goal in 331 matches.
  • 56' - 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.
  • 61' - The supporters are chanting for Cristian Pavon. He replaces Enzo Perez on 61 minute.
  • 64' - Argentina receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 64.
  • 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 Marcos Rojo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' - Argentina manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Maximiliano Meza is hanging Angel di Maria on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 80' - It is a substitution in Argentina team. Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Sergio Aguero on 80 minute.
  • 85' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Javier Mascherano made 116 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 86' - Argentina is taking the lead after the goal scored by Marcos Rojo on 86.
  • 90' - A meaty challenge results in booking for John Obi Mikel on 90.
  • 90' - The supporters are chanting for Alex Iwobi. He replaces Kenneth Omeruo on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Argentina players.
