Half Time. Nigeria 0-1 Germany.
45′ 1 minute of additional time
44′ Toljan denies Ezekiel with an excellent tackle as he charges up Nigeria’s left wing, leaving the winger on the floor.
42′ CHANCE! The corner is recycled to Bender on the right wing, and he has all the time in the world to send in a low cross to Selke in the box, but he glances his shot wide of the post. The striker is livid with the referee for a perceived foul, but I’d just call that denial.
35′ SHOT! Brandt lays the ball off to Meyer about 25 yards out, and he produces a wonderful shot with hisleft foot that sails narrowly over the top corner. How Germany are only 1-0 up remains a mystery.
31′ Mikel dribbles one and two, Shoots! His shot is blocked for a corner kick.
20′ SAVE! Germany send a free kick deep into Nigeria’s box, but Lars Bender is unable to volley a headed pass back into the net, with Daniel in his way.
19′ YELLOW CARD. Ndifreke is booked for a foul.
12′ Close! Timo Horn with a howler as he miskicks the ball straight to Umar Sadiq, but the Roma forward is unable to capitalize as Horn desperately dives at his feet and reclaims the ball.
8′ Goal! Lukas KLOSTERMANN scores for Germany. Nigeria 0-1 Germany
3′ YELLOW CARD. Serge Gnabry is booked for a foul on Ezekiel
0′ Game on in Sao Paulo.
