PORTO ALEGRE, June 25 — Nigeria, with captain Joseph Yobo earning his 100th cap, and Argentina were unchanged for their closing Group F clash in Porto Alegre today.

Coach Stephen Keshi remained faithful to the side that saw off Bosnia-Hercegovina 1-0 last time out, and his opposite number Alejandro Sabella stuck with the starting XI that saw off dogged Iran by the same scoreline.

Nigeria will go through as runners-up with a draw against already qualified Argentina, irrespective of how Iran fare against eliminated Bosnia in Group F’s other game.
