Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Croatia kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Ahmed Musa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - Abdullahi Shehu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic.
  • 32' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Oghenekaro Etebo on 32.
  • 37' - 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 Odion Ighalo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Luka Modric has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 47' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 47.
  • 52' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 57' - 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.
  • 60' - Marcelo Brozovic is replacing Andrej Kramaric for the Croatia side.
  • 62' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Alex Iwobi by Ahmed Musa on 62 minute.
  • 67' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 70' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for William Troost-Ekong.
  • 71' - GOAL! Luka Modric scores on 71.
  • 72' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Odion Ighalo is replaced by Kelechi Iheanacho.
  • 77' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Wilfred Ndidi, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 78' - The supporters are chanting for Mateo Kovacic. He replaces Ante Rebic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 86' - The whistle greets Mario Mandzukic as he departs to be replaced by Marko Pjaca.
  • 88' - The whistle greets John Obi Mikel as he departs to be replaced by Simeon Nwankwo.
  • 89' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Marcelo Brozovic on 89.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Croatia and Nigeria (для сухой ничьи).
