Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Croatia and Nigeria is underway.
  • 5' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Ivan Perisic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Supporters expect more eagerness from William Troost-Ekong, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Croatia that had 165 games and scored 38 goals.
  • 30' - Ivan Rakitic is having his name booked by the referee on 30.
  • 32' - GOAL! Oghenekaro Etebo scores on 32.
  • 37' - Ahmed Musa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 42' - Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 42.
  • 47' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 52' - 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.
  • 57' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' - Marcelo Brozovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 60 minute.
  • 62' - Ahmed Musa has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alex Iwobi on 62 minute.
  • 67' - It looks like no one’s ball. Croatia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 70' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. William Troost-Ekong gets a Yellow card.
  • 71' - GOAL! Luka Modric scores on 71.
  • 72' - The supporters are chanting for Kelechi Iheanacho. He replaces Odion Ighalo on 72 minute.
  • 77' - 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 Wilfred Ndidi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' - The Croatia manager makes a substitution. Ante Rebic departs to be replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
  • 83' - 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.
  • 86' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Mario Mandzukic is replaced by Marko Pjaca.
  • 88' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace John Obi Mikel by Simeon Nwankwo on 88 minute.
  • 89' - Marcelo Brozovic is having his name booked by the referee on 89.
