HALF TIME: It's some Messi magic that puts
Argentina in the ascendancy at the interval. After his late heroics against
Iran, the skipper opened the scoring inside three minutes today, before Musa
levelled 80 seconds later. The No10 left it late, curling a beautiful free-kick
past the impressive Enyeama in stoppage time at the end of the half. In the
other game in Group F, already-eliminated Bosnia and Herzegovina lead Iran 1-0
thanks to Edin Dzeko's goal.

FULL TIME: It's all over in Porto Alegre and
Nigeria have been defeated, but it doesn't matter - they progress to the Round
of 16 along with Group F winners Argentina. We had a blistering start at the
Estadio Beira-Rio with two goals in the opening four minutes: Messi followed by
Musa. The Barça star then scored a sublime free-kick minutes before the
interval before Musa doubled his account just after the break. Rojo secured the
victory shortly after and Nigeria's qualification was secured on the final
whistle in Salvador, with Bosnia and Herzegovina running out 3-1 victors to
eliminate Iran.
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA VS IRAN

HALF-TIME: Edin Dzeko's strike is the only
difference between the two sides as they head back into the tunnel for their
half-time team talks. Both sides put in hard challenges and were sound
defensively as chances were limited on both ends, barring Dzeko's goal, which
beat several defenders in addition to the goalkeeper. With Argentina leading
Nigeria 2-1 in the other game, Iran need to score at least
twice to remain in
contention for the Round of 16.

FULL-TIME: That's it from Salvador, where the
Arena Fonte Nova has seen another four goals, bringing the stadiums total to 21
strikes from four games. The result sends Bosnia and Herzegovina home from
their first World Cup adventure with a win, while Iran leave Brazil at least
having scored a goal. Nigeria, despite their 3-2 loss to Argentina will join La
Albiceleste in the Round of 16 from Group F.
