  • 14' - Lionel Messi puts Argentina on the lead.
  • 19' - 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.
  • 24' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Argentina that had 25 games and scored 44 goals.

  • 32' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle 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 Wilfred Ndidi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' - Leon Balogun needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 46' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Odion Ighalo on 46 minute.

  • 72' - Maximiliano Meza is replacing Angel di Maria for the Argentina side.
  • 77' - Javier Mascherano has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 80' - Another substitution for Argentina to replace Nicolas Tagliafico by Sergio Aguero on 80 minute.
  • 85' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Marcos Rojo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 86' - What a strike from Marcos Rojo! The score is 1-2.
  • 90' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for John Obi Mikel.
  • 90' - Alex Iwobi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kenneth Omeruo on 90 minute.
