  • 10' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' - Francis Uzoho needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' - Supporters expect more eagerness from William Troost-Ekong, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 30' - Ivan Rakitic was booked on 30.
  • 32' - Oghenekaro Etebo puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 37' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Wilfred Ndidi made 288 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 42' - It looks like no one’s ball. Croatia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 47' - Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 47.
  • 52' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 57' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
  • 60' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marcelo Brozovic is hanging Andrej Kramaric on the field on 60 minute.
  • 62' - Ahmed Musa is replacing Alex Iwobi for the Nigeria side.
  • 67' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for John Obi Mikel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' - Nigeria receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 70.
  • 71' - Goal! Luka Modric scores his 33 goal in 468 matches.

  • 78' - Mateo Kovacic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ante Rebic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - Nigeria seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 86' - Another substitution for Croatia to replace Mario Mandzukic by Marko Pjaca on 86 minute.
  • 88' - The supporters are chanting for Simeon Nwankwo. He replaces John Obi Mikel on 88 minute.
