Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Croatia and Nigeria is underway.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Leon Balogun has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - 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 Domagoj Vida suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

  • 52' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Wilfred Ndidi, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 57' - Ivan Perisic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 25 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 60' - Marcelo Brozovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 60 minute.
  • 62' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Alex Iwobi departs to be replaced by Ahmed Musa.
  • 67' - 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.
