RUSSIA – The Nigerian Super Eagles started their FIFA World Cup campaign in Russia on a shaky note, losing 2-0 to Croatia. It was the first time the Croatians will be winning their first match in the history of the world cup.
Signs that Nigeria will lose the game came very early in the day when Etebo put Croatia in the lead with an home goal in the first half.
The Super Eagles tried as much as possible to equalise but the defence line caved in when Croatia scored the second goal. It could have been worse. It was the Croatians who took home the maximum points from the encounter to put the Super Eagles of Nigeria in a must win situation in their next match against Argentina and Iceland.
A loss will see the Super Eagles leaving Russia, making the Russia 2018 the worst world cup for the Super Eagles.
