Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ivan Rakitic made 448 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' - It’s a booking for Croatia player. Ivan Rakitic gets a Yellow card.
  • 32' - Oghenekaro Etebo puts Nigeria on the lead.
  • 37' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Luka Modric has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 42' - 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.
  • 47' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 52' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Dejan Lovren, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 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' - The Croatia manager makes a substitution. Andrej Kramaric departs to be replaced by Marcelo Brozovic.
  • 62' - Ahmed Musa is replacing Alex Iwobi for the Nigeria side.
  • 67' - Andrej Kramaric has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 70' - William Troost-Ekong is having his name booked by the referee on 70.
  • 71' - What a strike from Luka Modric! The score is 1-1.
  • 72' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Odion Ighalo by Kelechi Iheanacho on 72 minute.
  • 77' - 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 John Obi Mikel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
  • 83' - 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.
  • 86' - The Croatia manager makes a substitution. Mario Mandzukic departs to be replaced by Marko Pjaca.
  • 88' - The whistle greets John Obi Mikel as he departs to be replaced by Simeon Nwankwo.
  • 89' - Croatia receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 89.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Croatia and Nigeria (для сухой ничьи).
