34? – Sincere Seth hacked down Davie Selke. Germany now back in control as the attack Dream Team VI in battalions
31? –Good playby Mikel, but his effort deflected for a corner.
27? – Fans at the stadium hailing the Dream Team.
24? – To Nigeria’s credit, they are dashing forward at every opportunity. – not that the fans inside Arena Corinthian would accept any less, mind. Ekong needs to make a superb challenge on Gnabry inside the area to prevent a clear shot or cross. Appeals for a penalty quite rightfully go unanswered.
