Russia 2018 World Cup: Nigeria Start Off Unimpressive After Losing 2-0 To Croatia
Nigeria Super Eagles did not have like they would expect with Croatia to which they lose by 2-0 in their Group C debut at the World Cup.
It was not the very best display of professionalism from both as they barely made serious threat at both ends, nonetheless, there was a change in tune of the game in the second half which finished in favour of the Croatia.
Nigeria fell to the hand of the European side when Peter Etebo deflected a header from Mario Mandzukic in 32nd minutes and the loss was completed when Luka Modric converted penalty conceded by Troost-Ekong on Mandzukic in 71st minutes.
Nigeria will face in their next match on Thursday Iceland which drew 1-1 with Argentina and Croatia will take on the South American side in their Group C second match.
