Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Croatia and Nigeria.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 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' - 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.
  • 20' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' - 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 Luka Modric suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - The referee calls foul for Ivan Rakitic. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 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' - Leon Balogun needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 47' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ivan Strinic made 165 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 52' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 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 has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alex Iwobi on 62 minute.
  • 67' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 70' - William Troost-Ekong is having his name booked by the referee on 70.
  • 71' - Goal! Luka Modric scores his 33 goal in 474 matches.
  • 72' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Odion Ighalo by Kelechi Iheanacho on 72 minute.
  • 77' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 78' - The whistle greets Ante Rebic as he departs to be replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
  • 83' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 86' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marko Pjaca is hanging Mario Mandzukic on the field on 86 minute.
