Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Croatia and Nigeria is underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' - The referee calls foul for Ivan Rakitic. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 32' - GOAL! Oghenekaro Etebo scores on 32.
  • 37' - Nigeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 42' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 47' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Wilfred Ndidi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 52' - Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 52.
  • 57' - Ante Rebic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' - The supporters are chanting for Marcelo Brozovic. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 60 minute.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Alex Iwobi as he departs to be replaced by Ahmed Musa.
  • 67' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 70' - The referee shows Nigeria player a Yellow card on 70.
  • 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' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 78' - The supporters are chanting for Mateo Kovacic. He replaces Ante Rebic on 78 minute.
  • 83' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brian Idowu made 265 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 86' - The supporters are chanting for Marko Pjaca. He replaces Mario Mandzukic on 86 minute.
  • 88' - It is a substitution in Nigeria team. John Obi Mikel is replaced by Simeon Nwankwo 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.
