Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Ahmed bin Ali Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Croatia and Belgium.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Eden Hazard, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 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 Thorgan Hazard suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Belgium that had 117 games and scored 36 goals.
  • 30' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Belgium winning 0% of all matches.
  • 40' - It looks like no one’s ball. Belgium is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' - 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.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Belgium. Dries Mertens is replaced by Romelu Lukaku.
  • 51' - It’s high time Roberto Martinez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 56' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dejan Lovren made 311 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 59' - The Belgium manager makes a substitution. Leandro Trossard departs to be replaced by Thorgan Hazard.
  • 64' - The whistle greets Marko Livaja as he departs to be replaced by Bruno Petkovic.
  • 67' - It’s a booking for Belgium player. Leander Dendoncker gets a Yellow card.
  • 72' - Belgium manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jeremy Doku is hanging Yannick Carrasco on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' - 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.
  • 82' - 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.
  • 87' - It is a substitution in Belgium team. Thomas Meunier is replaced by Eden Hazard on 87 minute.
  • 88' - Another substitution for Belgium to replace Thomas Meunier by Eden Hazard on 88 minute.
  • 90' - Another change for Croatia made on 90 minute. Mateo Kovacic leaves to be changed by Lovro Majer.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
