End of match

  • 93'
    FT: Madagascar 2-0 Nigeria. A great win for Madagascar and a day their sporting fans will never forget. Many questions for Nigeria to answer but let this day be all about the Barea who were tremendous. Their coach is given a dousing in water on the sidelines.
  • 90'
    3 min of added time!
  • 88'
    Iwobi and Simon stand out as Nigeria's best at the moment, but this team is under the shock of an amazingly good performance by Madagascar... A team no one had hopes for.
  • 85'
    Nigeria have had a few chances in the last few minutes, but no clear shots or frankly, luck, as the players are not providing the expected performance.
  • 80'
    First yellow card of the game to Marco for a foul on Ndidi, which means he will now miss the next game. Free kick is given, but wasted by Nigeria.

    Mikel out, Iwobi in... This should make a difference for Nigeria.
  • 57'
    What a missed chance for Nigeria, who have been inferior in this second half! Anicet Abel just couldn't get a connection two yards out after Andria found Andriatsima in the box.
  • 54'
    Another mistake by Nigeria, and another goal for Madagascar! This match is not what most spectators thought it would be! Carolus Andriamahitsinoro from a free kick with a right footed shot to the top right corner.

Goaaaaaal!

  • 53'
    GOAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!
  • 52'
    Ibrahim Amada wins a free kick in the attacking half.
  • 46'
    Second half underway!
  • 45'
    HT: Madagascar 1-0 Nigeria. A shocking early goal from Madagascar has silenced Nigeria's hopes for quarterfinals, and the Super Eagles have not yet woken up, with only a few chances here and there to make up for it.
  • 43'
    Substitution, Madagascar. Mamy Gervais Randrianarisoa replaces Pascal Razakanantenaina because of an injury.
  • 41'
    Mikel plays it wide to Ighalo who tries to find his skipper in the box but his cross just finds the welcoming arms of Adrien.
  • 38'
    It might not garner as many headlines, but a lot of drama in the other Group B game too. Burundi's Christophe Nduwarugira sent off after 12 minutes and Mohamed Yattara netting for Guinea in the 25th minute.
  • 36'
    Posession is pretty equal considering Nigeria's caliber, with Madasgacar reaching an impressive 45% to Nigeria's 55%.
  • 32'
    Corner for Madagascar, thrown in by Ola Aina..
  • 30'
    HUGE MISSED CHANCE FOR MOUSA! After reaching the goalkeeper's box, he tries to go for a one on one but is knocked down before being able to score.
  • 26'
    Nigeria are classier in possession but Madagascar are showcasing much superior drive and energy.
  • 23'
    Another chance for Madagascar! The Islanders are dominating play currently, and Nigeria's slow pace is definitely helping them out.
  • 18'
    After a good effort by Mousa, but his shot is a few meters off target. Nigerian players are probably as shocked as all of us spectators with the current score.
  • 16'
    Peter Etebo wins a free kick for Nigeria on the right wing.
  • 14'
    What a shocking start to this game! Madagascar gets ahead with a shot from Nomenjanahary after some very poor defending by Nigeria, and even poorer goalkeeping. Mad scenes.
  • 12'
    GOAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!
  • 8'
    Free kick by Nigeria, who is not playing with their famously popular green and white kit, but it is thrown over the bar by a few meters.
  • 6'
    It is two years since Nigeria have lost to an African side - a reverse to South Africa - what a sensation it would be if the Barea can break this run.
  • 2'
    Before kick off, a minute of silence was held in honour of Ndaye Mulamba.
  • 1'
    And we're off!

    The Super Eagles have never conceded a goal against Madagascar. Nigeria won three of the previous (4) meetings. Nigeria did not concede a goal in the group stages of the 1994 and 2002 Africa Cup of Nations. Can they repeat the same in 2019?
  • PRVW
    Madagascar are second in Group B with four points. The Barea drew 2-2 against Guinea in their first game and defeated Burundi 1-0 in the second?
