Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Croatia and Nigeria is underway.
  • 5' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' - Leon Balogun needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Simeon Nwankwo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' - Croatia is showing some good football. However, Croatia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' - Croatia player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 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' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 47' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 52' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 57' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 60' - The whistle greets Andrej Kramaric as he departs to be replaced by Marcelo Brozovic.
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Nigeria. Alex Iwobi is replaced by Ahmed Musa.
  • 67' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Abdullahi Shehu made 4 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for William Troost-Ekong.
  • 71' - What a strike from Luka Modric! The score is 1-1.
  • 72' - The supporters are chanting for Kelechi Iheanacho. He replaces Odion Ighalo on 72 minute.
  • 77' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 77.
  • 78' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Ante Rebic is replaced by Mateo Kovacic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - 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 Kelechi Iheanacho suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' - Marko Pjaca is replacing Mario Mandzukic for the Croatia side.
  • 88' - Simeon Nwankwo has so much to prove this time. He replaces John Obi Mikel on 88 minute.
  • 89' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marcelo Brozovic.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Croatia players.
