Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Croatia and Nigeria has kicked off!
  • 5' - It looks like no one’s ball. Croatia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Dejan Lovren has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - Croatia is showing some good football. However, Croatia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' - William Troost-Ekong needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Ivan Rakitic on 30.
  • 32' - Oghenekaro Etebo puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 37' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
  • 42' - Danijel Subasic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 47' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 52' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 57' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 60' - The supporters are chanting for Marcelo Brozovic. He replaces Andrej Kramaric 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 Ahmed Musa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' - A meaty challenge results in booking for William Troost-Ekong on 70.
  • 71' - GOAL! Luka Modric scores on 71.
  • 72' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Odion Ighalo is replaced by Kelechi Iheanacho on 72 minute.
  • 77' - 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.
  • 78' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mateo Kovacic is hanging Ante Rebic on the field on 78 minute.
  • 83' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 86' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Mario Mandzukic is replaced by Marko Pjaca.
  • 88' - The whistle greets John Obi Mikel as he departs to be replaced by Simeon Nwankwo.
  • 89' - Marcelo Brozovic was booked on 89.
  • The final score is 2-0.
