The Croatian captain scored from the spot 15 mins from full time after Ogenekoro Etebo’s first half own goal.
The 33 year old, who won man of the match, mentioned that the end result will help them in their quest to qualify from the group.
“It’s a high-quality start for Croatia, we deserved to win. Nigeria played well, but we were better. I’m satisfied that I scored the penalty, I’m glad with how I scored.
“Ronaldo? yes, he scored a wonderful penalty kick on this tournament as well”, Modric said after the game.
“I trust that on the wings of this win, we will up our game and continue our journey in the manner that we planned before coming right here.”
