A good cross from Babatunde for Moses in the box but his shot is blocked. Will we see a goal late in this game?
76'
U. Nwofor enters the game and replaces E. Emenike.
Nigeria decide to substitute Emmanuel Emenike by bringing on Uche Nwofor who scored their equaliser against Scotland last week. Surely a good work out for Emenike who looked sharp and troubled the Greek defence

73'
Veteran Giorgios Samaras comes in to great applause from the crowd.

Description
70'
This second half has been a lot more active than the first. Both teams have looked capable of scoring so far. Who will break the deadlock?
65'
Substitute Panagiotis Kone almost put the Greeks up with a shot that just went out the upright and left Enyeama stranded after a fast counter attack. Nigeria lucky to still be equal in this one.
63'
A. Tziolis enters the game and replaces A. Samaris.
A penalty shout by Moses is waved off by the referee but TV replays show that the forward was pushed by the Greek defender.

61'
A quick counter attack initiated by Moses ends in a corner kick for Nigeria as Babtunde's run was checked. Greece make two changes

Moses shoots wide of Kapinos' goal following good passing with Ambrose. The Chelsea man has looked lively all through this match.

54'
M. Babatunde enters the game and replaces P. Odemwingie.
Uchebo wins a free kick for Nigeria after he was brought down near the centre half. Odemwingie is substituted as Michael Babatunde comes on

45' +1
One minute of added on time ends without much action as the referee calls an end to the first half. We have seen a couple of good opportunities for both sides but no golas yet. Will the second half be more rewarding for these two sides? Send me your thoughts on Twitter @Jololade.
44'
Emenike is fouled outside the Greek box but Moses sees his cross plucked out of the air by Glykos.
43'
Greece win a free kick 30 yards oot after Onazi's foul on Samaris. Karagounis' ship was well read by Enyeama who scoops it and sends it out on another fast counter attack.
41'
O. Kunle enters the game and replaces E. Echiejile.
40'
SUBSTITUTION Echiejile cannot continue as Kunle Odunlami comes on to replace him in the left back position. I think the change was more precautionary.
37'
WELL HIT! Onazi reeives a pass from Odemwingie and fires low at the Greek goal but Glykos dives to save. Echiejile seems to have hurt himself and is getting attention from the team's medics.
34'
Emenike is caught offside after a delightful pass from Mikel found him free on the edge of the Greek box. That just takes the air out of your lungs. Nigerian crowd screaming and asking for a goal now.
31'
Emenike makes a hash of a Nigeria possession there, shoots wide even though he had a couple of options to pass to. A rare Nigeria attack in the last four minutes goes to waste.
28'
SAVED! Fetfazidis shimmies inside the Nigeria defence as he beats two defenders but his shot is saved by Enyeama who puts it out for a corner. The conservative Greek seem to have risen to the challenge. Game on.

MY TURN! Karagounis gets a pass in the middle of the field, races and shoots just wide of the Nigeria goal.
25'
SHOT! Ahmed Musa receives a pass from Mikel and shoots for goal only to be stopped by Glykos.

Keen on maintaining their shape, Greece have seldom come out and when they have gotten outside their half, the Nigerian defence has been able to hold them, but for how long?
14'
The Greeks are pegged back by the Nigeria defence which quickly turns it into a counter attack via Moses' pace but Emenike is brought down. Resultant kick wins them a corner but Odemwingie clatters into goalkeer Glykos for a foul.

Nigeria with the early pressing as Greece struggle early to get their passes together.

We're underway at the PPL Park with Greece taking the kick off.
Welcome to Goal's coverage of Greece vs Nigeria. This game is taking place at the PPL Park, Chester, Pennsylvania in the United States. My name is Lolade Adewuyi, stay with me as I bring you the key moments of this game. Chime in with me via Twitter @Jololade
Greece and Nigeria have played twice at the World Cup with a win apiece. Nigeria edged their first encounter in 1994 2-0 while it was a reversal of fortunes in 2010 as the former European champions won 2-1. It was a game that saw the Greeks score their first ever World Cup goals.
Greece and Nigeria both made their World Cup debuts in 1994, but the Super Eagles have been the more successful reaching the round of 16 twice in 1994 and 1998.
Greece emerge in white with blue collars and numbering while Nigeria are in green. We stand for the national anthems of both teams.
A huge round of applause as both anthems are sung by two beautiful women. Players shake hands now. Only three players from the Nigeria squad of 2010 are starting tonight - Enyeama, Echiejile and Odemwingie.
