Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Croatia kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - It’s high time Zlatko Dalic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - Victor Moses needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Alex Iwobi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - 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 Abdullahi Shehu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - Ivan Rakitic is having his name booked by the referee on 30.
  • 32' - Goal! Oghenekaro Etebo scores his 5 goal in 321 matches.
  • 37' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 42' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 47' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 52' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 52 minutes.
  • 57' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 4 goals.
  • 60' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marcelo Brozovic is hanging Andrej Kramaric on the field on 60 minute.
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Alex Iwobi is replaced by Ahmed Musa.
  • 67' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 70' - It’s a booking for Nigeria player. William Troost-Ekong gets a Yellow card.
  • 71' - What a strike from Luka Modric! The score is 1-1.
  • 72' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kelechi Iheanacho is hanging Odion Ighalo on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 78' - The supporters are chanting for Mateo Kovacic. He replaces Ante Rebic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - 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.
  • 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 shows Croatia player a Yellow card on 89.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Croatia and Nigeria (для сухой ничьи).
