Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - It’s high time Zlatko Dalic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Abdullahi Shehu needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 30' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic.
  • 32' - Oghenekaro Etebo puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 37' - 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.
  • 42' - John Obi Mikel has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 47' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 52' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Brian Idowu has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' - 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 Victor Moses suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' - Another change for Croatia made on 60 minute. Andrej Kramaric leaves to be changed by Marcelo Brozovic.
  • 62' - Ahmed Musa is replacing Alex Iwobi for the Nigeria side.
  • 67' - 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.
  • 70' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 71' - GOAL! Luka Modric scores on 71.
  • 72' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kelechi Iheanacho is hanging Odion Ighalo on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 78' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - 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.
  • 86' - Marko Pjaca has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mario Mandzukic on 86 minute.
  • 88' - The supporters are chanting for Simeon Nwankwo. He replaces John Obi Mikel on 88 minute.
  • 89' - Marcelo Brozovic is having his name booked by the referee on 89.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
