Nigeria Vs Argentina: See The Previous Games Argentina Defeated Nigeria
.
The Nigeria vs Argentina encounter at the Russia 2018 World Cup, which is set to hold later this evening, will not be the first time that the two teams are meeting at any International competition.
This is the eight meeting between Nigeria and Argentina, and the South Americans had won in all four competitive games, drew one and lost in two international friendlies.
Their first encounter at USA ’94 ended 2-1 in favour of the White and Sky Blues South Americans, while they played 0-0 at the Confederations Cup in Saudi Arabia in 1995.
At Korea/Japan 2002 World Cup, the Super Eagles went down 0-1, while their encounter at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa also went the way of the Argentines with 1-0 victory.
Eagles first victory over La Albiceleste came in 2011 in Abuja during an international friendly game, which ended 4-1. But the Argentines responded quickly with a 3-1 win in another international friendly duel at Dhaka Bangladesh.
During the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Argentina won 3-2 in their last group game, but Nigeria won the last international friendly match 4-2 against them.
However, there is tension in the Nigerian camp ahead of today’s battle at St. Petersburg and the coach Gernot Rohr has charged his players to give all their best at the game.
