Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Nigeria is hosting Argentina for another epic battle.
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - The travelling Argentina supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 14' - Goal! Lionel Messi scores his 177 goal in 448 matches.
  • 19' - 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.
  • 24' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 29' - 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 Leon Balogun suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 32.
  • 37' - Nicolas Otamendi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 42' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Kelechi Iheanacho departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 49' - Javier Mascherano was booked on 49.
  • 51' - What an equalizer from Victor Moses!
  • 56' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
  • 61' - It is a substitution in Argentina team. Enzo Perez is replaced by Cristian Pavon on 61 minute.
  • 64' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ever Banega.
  • 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' - Another change for Argentina made on 72 minute. Angel di Maria leaves to be changed by Maximiliano Meza.
  • 77' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 80' - Time for substitution for Argentina. Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Sergio Aguero.
  • 85' - 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.
  • 86' - Sensational shot from Marcos Rojo. Argentina is back in the lead.
  • 90' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. John Obi Mikel gets a Yellow card.
