Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Nigeria gets underway.
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Brian Idowu has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' - It’s a booking for Croatia player. Ivan Rakitic gets a Yellow card.
  • 32' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Oghenekaro Etebo on 32.
  • 37' - Dejan Lovren has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 39 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 42' - Kelechi Iheanacho needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 47' - 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 Simeon Nwankwo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 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' - 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.
  • 60' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Andrej Kramaric is replaced by Marcelo Brozovic on 60 minute.
  • 62' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Alex Iwobi is replaced by Ahmed Musa on 62 minute.
  • 67' - 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.
  • 70' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 71' - GOAL! Luka Modric scores on 71.
  • 72' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Odion Ighalo by Kelechi Iheanacho on 72 minute.
  • 77' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 78' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mateo Kovacic is hanging Ante Rebic on the field on 78 minute.
  • 83' - 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.
  • 86' - The Croatia manager makes a substitution. Mario Mandzukic departs to be replaced by Marko Pjaca.
  • 88' - The supporters are chanting for Simeon Nwankwo. He replaces John Obi Mikel on 88 minute.
  • 89' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Marcelo Brozovic.
  • Another three points for Croatia.
