  • 5' - Domagoj Vida has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ivan Rakitic.
  • 32' - Goal! Oghenekaro Etebo scores his 5 goal in 321 matches.
  • 37' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 42' - 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.
  • 47' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luka Modric made 474 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 52' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 57' - Ahmed Musa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.

  • 62' - The supporters are chanting for Ahmed Musa. He replaces Alex Iwobi on 62 minute.
  • 67' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Sime Vrsaljko has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 71' - What an equalizer from Luka Modric!
  • 72' - Another substitution for Nigeria to replace Odion Ighalo by Kelechi Iheanacho on 72 minute.
