Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Nigeria is showing some good football. However, Nigeria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' - It’s high time Zlatko Dalic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' - Danijel Subasic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - The referee calls foul for Ivan Rakitic. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 32' - Goal! Oghenekaro Etebo scores his 5 goal in 321 matches.
  • 37' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 42' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 47' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brian Idowu made 265 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 52' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 52 minutes.
  • 57' - Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 57.
  • 60' - The whistle greets Andrej Kramaric as he departs to be replaced by Marcelo Brozovic.
  • 62' - The supporters are chanting for Ahmed Musa. He replaces Alex Iwobi on 62 minute.
  • 67' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Luka Modric has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 70' - William Troost-Ekong was booked on 70.
  • 71' - What an equalizer from Luka Modric!
  • 72' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Odion Ighalo is replaced by Kelechi Iheanacho on 72 minute.
  • 77' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 78' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - 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.
  • 86' - Marko Pjaca is replacing Mario Mandzukic for the Croatia side.
  • 88' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. John Obi Mikel is replaced by Simeon Nwankwo on 88 minute.
