Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Nigeria gets underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 15' - It’s high time Zlatko Dalic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic.
  • 32' - Goal! Oghenekaro Etebo scores his 5 goal in 321 matches.
  • 37' - Nigeria 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.
  • 42' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Dejan Lovren, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 47' - Simeon Nwankwo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 52' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 57' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 60' - The supporters are chanting for Marcelo Brozovic. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 60 minute.
  • 62' - Ahmed Musa is replacing Alex Iwobi for the Nigeria side.
  • 67' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luka Modric made 474 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for William Troost-Ekong.
  • 71' - Goal! Luka Modric scores his 33 goal in 474 matches.
  • 72' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kelechi Iheanacho is hanging Odion Ighalo on the field 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 Ahmed Musa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' - Mateo Kovacic is replacing Ante Rebic for the Croatia side.
  • 83' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 83 minutes.
  • 86' - Another change for Croatia made on 86 minute. Mario Mandzukic leaves to be changed by Marko Pjaca.
  • 88' - Simeon Nwankwo is replacing John Obi Mikel for the Nigeria side.
  • 89' - It’s a booking for Croatia player. Marcelo Brozovic gets a Yellow card.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Croatia and Nigeria (для сухой ничьи).
