Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Croatia and Nigeria has kicked off!
  • 5' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - Croatia 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.
  • 25' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Croatia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic.
  • 32' - GOAL! Oghenekaro Etebo scores on 32.
  • 37' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 42' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 47' - 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.
  • 52' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mario Mandzukic made 458 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 57' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 60' - Marcelo Brozovic is replacing Andrej Kramaric for the Croatia side.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Alex Iwobi as he 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.
  • 70' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. William Troost-Ekong gets a Yellow card.
  • 71' - Goal! Luka Modric scores his 33 goal in 474 matches.
  • 72' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kelechi Iheanacho is hanging Odion Ighalo on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 78' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
  • 83' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Abdullahi Shehu has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marcelo Brozovic.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Croatia and Nigeria (для сухой ничьи).
