Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Russia gets underway.
  • 5' - Russia is showing some good football. However, Russia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Russia does not make any changes. Aleksandr Golovin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - 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 Ivan Perisic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 31' - Denis Cheryshev puts Russia on the lead.
  • 35' - Croatia receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 35.
  • 38' - It’s a booking for Croatia player. Ivan Strinic gets a Yellow card.
  • 39' - What an equalizer from Andrej Kramaric!
  • 44' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Russia that had 105 games and scored 16 goals.
  • 49' - The travelling Croatia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 54' - It is a substitution in Russia team. Aleksandr Samedov is replaced by Aleksandr Erokhin on 54 minute.
  • 59' - Ilya Kutepov needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 63' - Marcelo Brozovic is replacing Ivan Perisic for the Croatia side.
  • 67' - The Russia manager makes a substitution. Denis Cheryshev departs to be replaced by Fedor Smolov.
  • 72' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sime Vrsaljko made 419 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 74' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Josip Pivaric is hanging Ivan Strinic on the field on 74 minute.
  • 79' - Yury Gazinskiy is replacing Artem Dzyuba for the Russia side.
  • 84' - It looks like no one’s ball. Russia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 88' - The supporters are chanting for Mateo Kovacic. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 88 minute.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
