Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Croatia is hosting Nigeria for another epic battle.
  • 5' - Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Ivan Perisic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 30' - Ivan Rakitic is having his name booked by the referee on 30.
  • 32' - Oghenekaro Etebo puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 37' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Kelechi Iheanacho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 42' - 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.
  • 47' - Luka Modric needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 52' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 57' - 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 Leon Balogun suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marcelo Brozovic is hanging Andrej Kramaric on the field on 60 minute.
  • 62' - The supporters are chanting for Ahmed Musa. He replaces Alex Iwobi on 62 minute.
  • 67' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dejan Lovren made 329 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for William Troost-Ekong.
  • 71' - Goal! Luka Modric scores his 33 goal in 474 matches.
  • 72' - Another change for Nigeria made on 72 minute. Odion Ighalo leaves to be changed by Kelechi Iheanacho.
  • 77' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 78' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 83 minutes.
  • 86' - Marko Pjaca has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mario Mandzukic on 86 minute.
  • 88' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. John Obi Mikel is replaced by Simeon Nwankwo.
  • 89' - The referee shows Croatia player a Yellow card on 89.
