At the San Juan del Bicentenario Stadium, the host of this World Cup, Argentina, will face Nigeria in search of a place in the quarterfinals of the competition. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. (local time) next Wednesday. The "Albiceleste" won their group with a perfect performance, since they won the three games they played. The hosts began with a 2-1 win over Uzbekistan with all the goals coming in the first half. They followed up that win with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Guatemala. The goals were really flowing in their last group match with a 5-0 win being recorded over New Zealand.

It was a tougher route to the knockout rounds for the Nigerian side. It didn't start that way though as they won their first two group matches. Their opening game saw them defeat the Dominican Republic 2-1. Their good start continued with a 2-0 win over Italy with both the goals coming in the second half. Their unbeaten record went in the final group match when being beaten 2-0 by group winners Brazil. The top three in the group all ended on six points with Nigeria third. That was enough to take them into the knockout rounds as one of the best third placed sides..
