Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Argentina kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - The travelling Argentina supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' - It’s high time Jorge Sampaoli made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 14' - What a strike from Lionel Messi! The score is 0-1.
  • 19' - It looks like no one’s ball. Argentina is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 24' - Brian Idowu needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 29' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. William Troost-Ekong made 409 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 32' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Leon Balogun.
  • 37' - It looks surprising Argentina does not make any changes. Wilfred Ndidi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 42' - 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.
  • 46' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Kelechi Iheanacho departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
  • 49' - The referee shows Argentina player a Yellow card on 49.
  • 51' - What a strike from Victor Moses! The score is 1-1.
  • 56' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Franco Armani, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 61' - The Argentina manager makes a substitution. Enzo Perez departs to be replaced by Cristian Pavon.
  • 64' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ever Banega.
  • 69' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 72' - Time for substitution for Argentina. Angel di Maria is replaced by Maximiliano Meza.
  • 77' - 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 Javier Mascherano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' - Time for substitution for Argentina. Nicolas Tagliafico is replaced by Sergio Aguero.
  • 85' - 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.
  • 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' - The supporters are chanting for Alex Iwobi. He replaces Kenneth Omeruo on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. Argentina beats Nigeria
