  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

  • 32' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Oghenekaro Etebo on 32.
  • 37' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kelechi Iheanacho made 291 appearances and scored 48 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 42' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 47' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 52' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 62' - Ahmed Musa is replacing Alex Iwobi for the Nigeria side.
  • 67' - 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.

  • 83' - 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 Simeon Nwankwo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' - Another substitution for Croatia to replace Mario Mandzukic by Marko Pjaca on 86 minute.
  • 88' - Simeon Nwankwo is replacing John Obi Mikel for the Nigeria side.
