- 0' We are underway at Lusail Iconic Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' 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.
- 20' 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 Antony suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Danilo is having his name booked by the referee on 25.
- 30' It’s high time Tite made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 31' It’s a booking for Croatia player. Marcelo Brozovic gets a Yellow card.
- 36' It looks surprising Brazil does not make any changes. Luka Modric has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 41' Brazil 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.
- 46' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. Croatia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 56' The whistle greets Raphinha as he departs to be replaced by Antony.
- 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 64' Time for substitution for Brazil. Vinicius Junior is replaced by Rodrygo.
- 68' Casemiro is having his name booked by the referee on 68.
- 72' The supporters are chanting for Bruno Petkovic. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 72 minute.
- 73' The Croatia manager makes a substitution. Andrej Kramaric departs to be replaced by Bruno Petkovic.
- 77' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marquinhos.
- 82' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 82 minutes.
- 84' The supporters are chanting for Pedro. He replaces Richarlison on 84 minute.
- 89' 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.
