Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Ahmed Musa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Ante Rebic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 25' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 32' - GOAL! Oghenekaro Etebo scores on 32.
  • 37' - 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.
  • 42' - 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.

  • 62' - The supporters are chanting for Ahmed Musa. He replaces Alex Iwobi on 62 minute.
