Matches

Argentina vs Bosnia and Herzegovina

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Argentina and Bosnia and Herzegovina match at the FIFA World Cup 2014-06-15.

The two teams had met in two previous matches, both in friendlies, most recently in 2013.[1]

Bosnia and Herzegovina conceded three minutes into their World Cup debut, when Lionel Messi's free kick was flicked on by Marcos Rojo and bounced off Sead Kolašinac into the net for an own goal. In the second half, Messi played a one-two with substitute Gonzalo Higuaín and shot home from the edge of the penalty area. With five minutes remaining in normal time, Bosnia and Herzegovina pulled one back, when Senad Lulić's pass found substitute Vedad Ibišević to score the country's first ever World Cup goal.[2]

Kolašinac's own goal after two minutes and nine seconds broke the record for the fastest own goal in the history of the FIFA World Cup, surpassing Carlos Gamarra's own goal (two minutes and 46 seconds) in Paraguay's first group stage match against England at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[3][4]

Iran vs Nigeria

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Iran and Nigeria match at the FIFA World Cup 2014-06-12.

The two teams had met in one previous match, in a friendly in 1998.[6]

In a goalless game of few chances, Iran's Reza Ghoochannejhad forced a save from Vincent Enyeama in the first half, while Nigeria substitute Shola Ameobi headed wide in the second half.[7]

This was the first draw of the tournament after the previous 12 matches all produced a winner, and was the longest wait for a draw in a single tournament since 1930, where there were no draws in the entire tournament.[8] This was also the first clean sheet kept by Iran in the World Cup.[9]
