The two teams had never met before.<ref name=Kit/>
[[Ivan Perišić]] went closest to hitting the target with an effort from 20 metres after a quarter of an hour, but in the end it was Nigeria's [[Oghenekaro Etebo]] who brought joy to the huge Croatian contingent in Kaliningrad, beating his own goalkeeper following a [[Luka Modrić]] corner which deflected off Perišić and [[Mario Mandžukić]].<ref name="FIFA Croatia v Nigeria">{{cite web |title=Modric-inspired Croatia open with a win |url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/report-cro--nga-2959074 |publisher=FIFA.com |date=16 June 2018}}</ref> [[Alex Iwobi]], after wriggling into space on the left side of the box, he hit a shot directly into a Croatia defender. [[Ante Rebić]] fired over from Perišić's left-wing centre, with [[Odion Ighalo]]'s header recording the match's first shot on target in the 59th minute. [[William Troost-Ekong]] was penalised for holding Mandžukić in the penalty area, and Modrić sent [[Francis Uzoho]] the wrong way from 12 yards for his first World Cup goal.<ref name="Goal Croatia v Nigeria">{{cite web |last=Smith |first=Jamie |title=Etebo own goal, Modric penalty settle tight clash |url=http://www.goal.com/en/match/croatia-v-nigeria/azmm7v76ft026xj554jejlw4p |publisher=Goal.com |date=16 June 2018}}</ref>
Croatia have won their opening game of a World Cup for the first time since their debut in the competition in 1998 ([[1998 FIFA World Cup Group H#Jamaica vs Croatia|3–1]] vs Jamaica). Nigeria became the first team in World Cup history to concede two consecutive own goals in the competition, with their last goal shipped in 2014, against [[2014 FIFA World Cup knockout stage#France vs Nigeria|France in the last 16]], also coming in this manner.<ref name="FIFA Croatia v Nigeria"/><ref name="Goal Croatia v Nigeria"/><ref>{{cite web |last=Whalley |first=Mike |title=Croatia 2 Nigeria 0 |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44422185 |publisher=BBC Sport |date=16 June 2018}}</ref>
