Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Croatia and Nigeria is underway.
  • 5' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Croatia that had 165 games and scored 38 goals.
  • 10' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic.
  • 32' - Goal! Oghenekaro Etebo scores his 5 goal in 296 matches.
  • 37' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Ahmed Musa, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 42' - 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 Sime Vrsaljko suffering a number of foals already.
  • 47' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 52' - It’s high time Zlatko Dalic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 57' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 60' - Another change for Croatia made on 60 minute. Andrej Kramaric leaves to be changed by Marcelo Brozovic.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Alex Iwobi as he departs to be replaced by Ahmed Musa.
  • 67' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 70' - A meaty challenge results in booking for William Troost-Ekong on 70.
  • 71' - What a strike from Luka Modric! The score is 1-1.
  • 72' - The supporters are chanting for Kelechi Iheanacho. He replaces Odion Ighalo on 72 minute.
  • 77' - Nigeria is showing some good football. However, Nigeria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 78' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
  • 83' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 86' - Another change for Croatia made on 86 minute. Mario Mandzukic leaves to be changed by Marko Pjaca.
  • 88' - Simeon Nwankwo has so much to prove this time. He replaces John Obi Mikel on 88 minute.
  • 89' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Marcelo Brozovic.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Nigeria.
