Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Croatia and Nigeria.
  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Brian Idowu, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - It looks like no one’s ball. Croatia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' - Ivan Rakitic is having his name booked by the referee on 30.
  • 32' - What a strike from Oghenekaro Etebo! The score is 0-1.
  • 37' - 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.
  • 42' - 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.
  • 47' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 52' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 57' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
  • 60' - Marcelo Brozovic is replacing Andrej Kramaric for the Croatia side.
  • 62' - Ahmed Musa is replacing Alex Iwobi for the Nigeria side.
  • 67' - Ivan Rakitic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 36 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 70' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for William Troost-Ekong.
  • 71' - What a strike from Luka Modric! The score is 1-1.
  • 72' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Odion Ighalo departs to be replaced by Kelechi Iheanacho.
  • 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' - 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 Ante Rebic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Mario Mandzukic is replaced by Marko Pjaca on 86 minute.
  • 88' - Another change for Nigeria made on 88 minute. John Obi Mikel leaves to be changed by Simeon Nwankwo.
