Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Croatia and Nigeria is underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Ante Rebic, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 30' - The referee shows Croatia player a Yellow card on 30.
  • 32' - Nigeria is taking the lead after the goal scored by Oghenekaro Etebo on 32.
  • 37' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 42' - The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 47' - 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.
  • 52' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Odion Ighalo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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' - The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Alex Iwobi departs to be replaced by Ahmed Musa.
  • 67' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
  • 70' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 70.
  • 71' - What an equalizer from Luka Modric!
  • 72' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Odion Ighalo by Kelechi Iheanacho on 72 minute.
  • 77' - Alex Iwobi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 78' - Another substitution for Croatia to replace Ante Rebic by Mateo Kovacic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - 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.
  • 86' - The whistle greets Mario Mandzukic as he departs to be replaced by Marko Pjaca.
  • 88' - Nigeria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Simeon Nwankwo is hanging John Obi Mikel on the field on 88 minute.
