Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Croatia and Nigeria.
  • 5' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Croatia is showing some good football. However, Croatia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 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' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sime Vrsaljko made 419 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic.
  • 32' - Oghenekaro Etebo puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 37' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 42' - 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.
  • 47' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 47 minutes.
  • 52' - 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.
  • 57' - 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.
  • 60' - The supporters are chanting for Marcelo Brozovic. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 60 minute.
  • 62' - Another change for Nigeria made on 62 minute. Alex Iwobi leaves to be changed by Ahmed Musa.
  • 67' - 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 Domagoj Vida suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for William Troost-Ekong.
  • 71' - What a strike from Luka Modric! The score is 1-1.
  • 72' - Another change for Nigeria made on 72 minute. Odion Ighalo leaves to be changed by Kelechi Iheanacho.
  • 77' - Ivan Rakitic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 36 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 78' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 86' - Marko Pjaca has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mario Mandzukic on 86 minute.
  • 88' - Simeon Nwankwo is replacing John Obi Mikel for the Nigeria side.
  • 89' - The referee calls foul for Marcelo Brozovic. He receives a Yellow card.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Croatia and Nigeria (для сухой ничьи).
