  • 0' - The game is set. Croatia kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic.
  • 32' - What a strike from Oghenekaro Etebo! The score is 0-1.
  • 37' - Mario Mandzukic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 42' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 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' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Victor Moses, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 60' - The supporters are chanting for Marcelo Brozovic. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 60 minute.
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Alex Iwobi is replaced by Ahmed Musa.
  • 67' - Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
  • 70' - A meaty challenge results in booking for William Troost-Ekong on 70.

  • 78' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic on 78 minute.
  • 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 Francis Uzoho suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' - Another change for Croatia made on 86 minute. Mario Mandzukic leaves to be changed by Marko Pjaca.
