Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Ivan Strinic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - 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 Ahmed Musa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - It looks like no one’s ball. Nigeria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

  • 32' - Goal! Oghenekaro Etebo scores his 5 goal in 321 matches.

  • 42' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 47' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Sime Vrsaljko, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 57' - It’s high time Zlatko Dalic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 60' - Another substitution for Croatia to replace Andrej Kramaric by Marcelo Brozovic on 60 minute.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Alex Iwobi as he departs to be replaced by Ahmed Musa.
