Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Ivan Strinic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Croatia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic.
  • 32' - Goal! Oghenekaro Etebo scores his 5 goal in 321 matches.
  • 37' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 42' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 47' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 52' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Ahmed Musa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. Alex Iwobi is replaced by Ahmed Musa on 62 minute.
  • 67' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. William Troost-Ekong made 409 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' - Nigeria player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 71' - What an equalizer from Luka Modric!
  • 72' - The supporters are chanting for Kelechi Iheanacho. He replaces Odion Ighalo on 72 minute.
  • 77' - 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.
  • 78' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
  • 83' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 86' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marko Pjaca is hanging Mario Mandzukic on the field on 86 minute.
  • 88' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. John Obi Mikel departs to be replaced by Simeon Nwankwo.
  • 89' - Croatia receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 89.
