Nigeria must play ‘a perfect match’ to beat Croatia – Mutiu Adepoju

Nigeria must play a perfect game to beat Croatia in Friday’s World Cup game, according to former international midfielder Mutiu Adepoju.

The Super Eagles face the Europeans in Kaliningrad and a win will boost their aspiration of reaching the knockout phase.

Gernot Rohr’s men have not won any of their last four international games and the former Real Madrid star is under no illusions about the task facing the three-time African champions.

“I'm expecting a very tough match against Croatia. They have a very good team, and Nigeria have to play a perfect match without much mistakes to win.
