  • 10' - Francis Uzoho needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. William Troost-Ekong has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - 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.
