They can't all be classics. Croatia beat Nigeria 2-0 to take control of Group D after a rather drab affair in Kaliningrad.

Luka Modric 7.5
Standout player on the night. Played a couple of excellent cross-field passes to ask Nigeria questions. Showed calmness from the spot.
Ante Rebic - 6
Got into some decent positions but missed a great chance at 1-0.
Ivan Perišić - 7
Tracked back when he needed too and delivered a couple of inviting crosses which weren't converted.
Andrej Kramaric - 6
Looked lively early on but faded as the game progressed.
Mario Mandžukić - 6
Played a part in both goals but was a static figure for most of the game.
SUBS
Marcelo Brozovic - 5.5
Comfortable on the ball after coming on with 30 minutes to go.
Mateo Kovačić - 5
The game was as good as won when he was introduced.
Marko Pjaca - N/A
Came on for the last four minutes
